Heron

Cross over to midnight
 A feeling that surrounds you, soft edge in a tight room
 To peel and open
 The ocean calls for all your bones down to the marrow
 And here it offers, it offers, a dizzying feat
 And now at peace, they offer, a chance to be me, near you often
 Mystified, it won't survive, how great thou art
 Mystified, it won't survive, how great thou art
 Past the point of what seeps into meaning, winced and I leaned in
 Like a voice speaks untethered from reason, heats of the season
 What I can't afford to speak, the heron offers me
 Besides moving cautiously, I'm never sure what it means
 But peace it could be
 Mystified, it won't survive, how great thou art
 Mystified, it won't survive, how great thou art
 Want to be me near you often
 Want to be me near you
 And here they offer, they offer, a dizzying heat
 And now at peace, they offer, a chance to be me, near you often
 Mystified, it won't survive, how great thou art
 Mystified, it won't survive, how great thou art
 No one to fault but you
 No one to fault but you
 No one to fault but you
 No one to fault but you
 We pull back and they push forward
