Lyrics

Instant Psalm

We overflow in a hurricane
We overflow in a hurricane
We can feel no pain
It's so close that we disappear
Through this narrow gap
The narrow gap that you leave us in

We can slide through this narrow gap
The narrow gap that you leave us in
And we feel you near
But so close that you disappear

While holding on to the sides
Like a wind blows its emptiness
Yes is not a real yes
Not a real yes

Emptiness has many forms
The only thing is to listen
It has many forms
And loneliness is a way to drown

While holding on to the sides
While a wind blows emptiness
Yes is not a real yes
Not a real yes
