Remains to be Seen Lyrics

I shelter warm from the bleakest outdoors

And it gives me some comfort for sure

That within the arms of at least a thousand hearts

I am unconditionally... known

I've done my time, laid it all out on the line

At least that's what I'll write in my story

'Cos my soul's not for sale, it's public domain

And if I've left out any details, then I'm sorry

But life today is temporal

Fleeting and ephemeral

One thing keeps me fearful

And that's one day you'll forget me at all

But down in the earth

Where I'll finally sleep

Will I see a rebirth

As the one I've sought to be?

Of my buried hurt

That I keep so deep

Will they ever ask, or learn?

I guess that remains to be seen

Staring down both barrels is

What I'm facing up against

Fighting endless choice paralysis

A world of unfathomable depth

But down in the earth

Where I'll finally sleep

Will I see a rebirth

As the one I've sought to be?

Of my buried hurt

That I keep so deep

Will they ever ask, or learn?

I guess that remains to be seen

Yeah, yeah

And once down in the dirt

Will I finally see peace?

And will I ever stir

In your memories?

They must never learn

Of the courage I've burned

And like embers from the pyre

Will I spark and light a fire?

All I want's to have inspired

And for what remains to be seen

(And for my remains to be seen...)
