Lyrics Bells - Anathallo

Bells

When I can’t find the word I’m looking for
I reach into the drawer with four tries
But nothing sticks.
Nothing sticks
There’s no telling why I opened it
I try, but I just forget
What there once was, I have not forgotten
What there once was, it won’t leave me alone
The synapses still fire and direct my thoughts
But they seem tired of hunting for homes
And I’m not brave enough to say that I am not afraid
Dhould I return to confused bits of blindness
A tongue wanting words in the sweet speech finds a form
Then returned to the bald toothless need of a child hunched and cradled
(his spine returns the curl to fit the cleft of an arm)
O, we are embarked and return to the place we start
To thrash against it
It’s a wild thing to accept.
Who can hold it?
Think about the loss of anything
Well, someday if you wake to a nameless stranger in me, lead me outside
Let me go
If I’m already there, just let me go
