Mara (Live At Unwound Studios)

[Verse 1]

I came to be here in the garden

I came to walk alone

To hear the quiet conversation between my footsteps and the stone

I came to find some self acceptance

I came searching for my truth

But something's telling me to go where it's far too dark to look

[Chorus]

Oh, I can see you Mara

I see you standing there

You're with me in the dark

I hear your questions in the air

Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?

[Verse 2]

You have come here in the silence

In the breath between the rain

The storm distorts the garden's beauty and leaves me wondering again

Distracting you is not the answer

If the question you relay, is not how to design something

But why build it anyway?

[Chorus]

Oh, I can see you Mara

I see you standing there

You're with me in the dark

Your questions working through the air

Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?

[Instrumental Break]

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?

[Verse 3]

Have you come here weak and hungry

To feed upon the scraps?

Do you sit patient in the bushes waiting to attack?

But I won't stomp my feet in anger, no

Or beat upon my chest

Instead, I ask that you allow me to talk with you instead

[Chorus]

Oh, I can see you Mara

I see you standing there

You're with me in the dark

I'll pull your questions from the air

Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?

Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?

Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?

I know, I know
