Wish The Wild Away

I awoke in a shameful way

On a Summer’s day

That had betrayed the rain

I could feel you, breathe you

Holding me tight

Stealing my light

I don’t love you but I’m lonely

You go to church but you’re not holy

Oh the habits of men

I don’t need you but I know you

And it is all the same

No fire, no flame

We move on in a loveless haze

All the words you say

All this pointless praise

Makes me crave your validation

Our fear of isolation

Is closing us in

I don’t love you but I’m lonely

You go to church but you’re not holy

Oh the habits of men

I don’t need you but I know you

And it is all the same

No fire, no flame

We stroke the fear and hope for rest

We wish the wild away

But it won’t go

She‘s found her home

In a city full of birdless skies

We miss the sound

We full it with our cries

We dream of being alive

I don’t love you but I’m lonely

You go to church but you’re not holy

Oh the habits of men

I don’t need you but I know you

And it is all the same

No fire, no flame

In this game, the circle remains

And so we play

Though we’d really like to get it away

It won’t be today

We’re not that brave
