The Convert - Shearwater

I forgot I was loving you

Disappeared for an hour or two

And I came to on a cold, wood floor

And I didn’t feel so good anymore

Now we clasp our hands

And we make demands

That the clouds will say what’s wrong with you now

And we had big plans

Now alone we stand

In the crowd and they’re not even laughing out loud

They don’t care

I’ll shut my eyes and let tv

Whisper, laugh and talk to me

And I’ll curl up tight inside my head

Killing time 'til the whole day is dead

And I’ll clasp my hands

And I’ll make demands

That the clouds are asking what’s wrong with him now

And I had big plans

Now alone I stand

In the crowd and they’re not even laughing out loud

They don’t care

God, take that sound away

If you’ve got something to say

Say it now

It’s fake and I need you not to be fake

And don’t care how you make me feel

Just so you’re real

Once I saw my face in a bathroom mirror

And I didn’t know that I was here

But I knew my eyes and I knew my hands

I knew God would now listen to all my demands

And the sky opened up

And God interrupted

The Earth stopped dying and stopped giving birth

And when I came to on the cold, wood floor

Well, I didn’t feel so good anymore

And all that sure love

And all their sweet words

I’d forgotten I’d felt and forgotten I’d heard

That was was clear

And is now so blurred and smeared

And your love felt more pure

And your love felt more pure once your voice disappeared
