Wallow
Blackbird sitting on a branch
It was dark
it was dancing
I gave you a second chance
To hold my heart
Put every egg in your basket

Now I see
I can’t love with expecting
Now I see
All the dots are connecting
It’s bittersweet
Now that I’ve done my reflecting
I set free
The fear that wallows in me

Lord I knew not what I did
I was young
But well intentioned
And all those nights my mind would spin
Throwing darts
At my demons

But now I see
It’s not the flame, but the ember
That burned me
Oh what a feat to remember
Everything
And only time can temper and treat
The fear that wallows in me

Blackbird sitting on a branch
It was dark
It was dancing
I gave you a second chance
To hold my heart
Put every egg in your basket

Now I see
I can’t love with expecting
Now I see
All the dots are connecting
It’s bittersweet
Now that I’ve done my reflecting
But now I see
It’s not the flame, but the ember
That burned me
Oh what a feat to remember
Everything
And only time can temper
Now I see
