What It Is

(Album: The Danger Of Light - 2012)

It's up above my head
It's way down in the mud
It's not something that I said
It's something in my blood
It's up above my head
It's somewhere in my kidney
Somewhere in my red
It's out there and it's in me

I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
But it's all that I have

It's not the bones under your skin
Not the spelling of your name
It's not the things you take inside before the rain
It's not the shot of your gun
Or the sugar in your cane
It's not the tickets to the plays that you have seen
It's not the reflection in the mirror
Not the shining of your silver
Not the most important things you think you've done
And no, it's not what you have cancelled
Not the calls you didn't answer
It'll still be there when you are long time gone

I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
But it's all that I have

It's up above my head
It's always and it's never
It's me that's part of it
A second in forever
