Lyrics
Drifting
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
drifting away from you
spinning down to the pinpoint drop of isolation
in a spell
walking away from the fire
that keeps my heart
from turning ice
golden feet grace the surface of the sea
sinking deeper I view them from underneath
flailing, kicking as I head for the deep
I question a hypothetical lead supper
oh God receive my outstretched hand
will I inhale the blue
spinning down upon the glass
a ghost towards realisation of a cell
enclosing the hauntings of a past
that blind the eyes
and rust the heart
so I fell
I need you to take my hand
and keep my heart from ice...
