lyrics
Into the Wilderness
How strange it is, how free it feels to feel alone, on my own.
How mind-spinningly, shallow-breathingly terrifying too.
How odd it is how tree roots grow around the telephone, my telephone.
And muffle the ringing and strangle the singing of those who call you, try to call you.
Eyes in the undergrowth are watching me,
But I’m watching them.
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
Waiting for you.
A heartbeat is company,
However small the heart, so small a heart.
A stranger is no stranger than a friend.
Is it desperation that has brought me out into the dark, oh it’s so dark.
Is it desperation that’ll drive me back again, I go again.
Eyes in the undergrowth are watching me,
But I’m watching them.
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
Waiting for you.
It’s a funny thing how monumental these moments feel,
We try to feel.
Though moments pass and we will all forget.
The lightning could strike me, my body could smite me,
But skin can heal, we try to heal.
Anything can be cured when there’s peace in the head,
Inside this head, oh.
Eyes in the undergrowth are watching me,
But I’m watching them.
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
I’m not lost, I’m in the wilderness
Waiting for you.
