lyrics

This is your body: it is geared against you
This is your hair: clinging to your eyes
This is your skin: can you feel it shrinking?
These are your hands: this is how they work

This is the wind: she’ll take care of your secrets
This is the sun: she’s burning hard behind the clouds
This is the moon: she’s there when you can’t see her
These are the trees: they’re whistling for you

These are your loves: they can’t see you watching
This is your family: they weren’t there when you were born
This is the girl who made you good
This is the route she’ll take when she leaves

This is your doubt - I thought you wanted it all
This is the tension that says welcome home
This the orange from underneath your eyelids
This is the taste of a saline solution

This is the answer you’ve been looking for
This is where you found it; now you’re lost
This is what you hear: nothing
This is what you say: ‘Welcome to the world’
