Circle Spinning

(album: Nearsighted - 2018)

Circle spinning again I watched it fall
In the corner where it lies
I saw your shadow there, darker than before
If ever our broken hands should not collide
On a clock that keeps our time
Your shadow was there, but I felt nothing

You pulled the wool over my eyes until I couldn't see
If we were fading, or whether or not there ever was a light
Wool over my eyes until I couldn't see
If we were fading, or whether or not there ever was a light

Lying against the moon I felt so small
When you swell inside the tide
But you were emptier than even I could know
If only the clouds had dulled your light
That slow, confusing guide
The circle would spin again without me

You pulled the wool over my eyes until I couldn't see
If we were fading, or whether or not there ever was a light
Wool over my eyes until I couldn't see
If we were fading, or whether or not there ever was a light

Is there a light?
Is there a light?

When all is said and done
Your song's a tired hum inside of me
Inside of me

You pulled the wool over my eyes until I couldn't see
If we were fading, or whether or not there ever was a light
Wool over my eyes until I couldn't see
If we were fading, or whether or not there ever was a light
