Myth Lyrics

The teacher said "you must detach

Do not grasp or possess"

I took a flower into my hand

And carried it like it would cure me

When Spring returned hope emerged

Diffused through buried skin

Permeated that space gone dime

Why do you say we must not hope

That all expectations should go?

Just name it and let it pass

But I can't found ground in that

Within the myth there is a map

A story to which we can attach

Is that a crutch or a defense?

For meaning comes when I reach

And hold on with gritted teeth

To a son that rose when the sun went down

As the center collapsed our of which I was found

I need a place to bring myself

Where comfort comes

Because something is holding me

And fills my lungs when

There's no reason left to breathe

If I had not chosen to hope

I would not be
