lyrics

The candle does you justice
Flickering, it dazzles me to death
Hovering above us with its orphans
By candlelight impressed

So we take the river backwards
Not burdened by the surface or the sting of transition
If this could be invented
I would never intervene with expectations

Just the patience of a saint…I have no station
Frozen at the road that is bending to you
I'm asking for your permission to move
Your permission to move

Improving through the thin drift of your vagaries
Preparing for a game i'll never play
With your permission to stay
Your permission to bruise
Your permission to prove

Deny me where I can't demand it

The rest I take for granted
Forever reprimanded and relieved
Of the services still keeping me
Nervous as I flee from the unmentioned

This is a different kind of tension
Shivering against my lofty needs
For permission to grieve
For permission to leave
For permission to move
Mounting and counting down
For your permission to move
For permission
