Nothing To Explain Lyrics

The pitch black avenue in blindness

Walks unlit streets down to the lane

My world depends upon your kindness

To bring it back to life again

Inside of each uncharted moment

Is one more urge I have to tame

If you'd just pray to let me find you

Then I'd have nothing to explain

Perhaps your thoughts are moist and fertile

Perhaps your wishes still evolve

But all my dreams are like the turtle

Slow and steady, they dissolve

The contradiction still enslaves me

The good, the bad, my aching in my brain

If you'd just pray to let me find you

Then I'd have nothing to explain

Some explanations are just reasons

Most reasons are excuses for the pain

Some lame excuses are just lies that ring of useless

Explanations for why things aren't how they might have been

I've traced a thousand absent feelings

Down paths where bloody footsteps drain

Emotions through a fishnet ceiling

That can't protect me from the rain

Whenever love knocks at the window

Something's lost and something's gained

If you'd just pray to let me find you

Then I'd have nothing to explain

Some explanations are just reasons

Most reasons are excuses for the pain

Some lame excuses are just lies that ring of useless

Explanations for why things aren't how they might have been

A fading tapestry of laughter

Hangs like a trophy on my wall

Another night, a morning after

They do not know me, do not call

A blessed wound, a scar reminds me

That I once dared to ride that train

If you'd just pray and finally find me

Then I'd have nothing to explain
