Welcome Back To The Wild Outside Lyrics

To be a bard in hours abandoned

So close to freedom but tethered to time

Noises followed me everywhere, tick tock, tick tock

City sounds, inner sounds

Where is the quiet, I wondered?

How can I still my mind when the world is so loud?

How can I trust my thoughts when you are lying around in them?

Crossing a bridge into the age of anxiety

Carefree to clingy

So far away from everyone I loved

You let go but didn't pry my fingers from

Where they were holding on to the edge of dear life

Friends turned to lovers

My compass upside down

My seven year-old self gone away, awry

So many circles swirling

And you, gone again

But there

She who is swimming under sine waves

Waiting for me to come home

To be with the whales

To float with Her

To reunite with the siren singing

Don't forget, it's okay

We're all still here

We're still happy

Welcome back to the Wild Outside
