Trying to find god while the world closes in
Written while walking on a beach. Recorded at home on GarageBand
lyrics
To leave for the city or stay in Tofino?
They stopped serving coffee at Rhino’s
They’re asking the tourists to go home
Declaring that nothing is final
I took to the woods to consider
And found myself next to the water
I read of Arjuna, the archer
And learned about why I still falter
I’ve drank enough of these tears to cure my apathy
So in my 30th year you can halve what’s left of me
But in the ocean this here is mere homeopathy
Although a working placebo means He knows what’s gotta be
To leave for the city or stay in Tofino?
Behind on the news, what do I know?
The sun’s getting low in the sky now
But still clinging hold to this time out
So I take to the beach to consider
And walk ‘till my feet start to blister
When the chatter gets dulled to a whisper
I think about calling my sister
I’ve drank enough of these tears to cure my apathy
So in my 30th year you can have what’s left of me
But in the ocean this here is mere homeopathy
Although a working placebo means She knows this side of me
