witness

The world slowly spins and I walk at my own pace

And the blackbird still sings like it did yesterday

The water is clear and this day will end

And there's beauty in things that stay the same

And I might stop here for a while

And learn a lesson, find a place to hide

I'll be a student, I'll do it right

There's something so strange about my mind being this quiet

It feels right until it feels wrong

But there's something so brave about making amends and being patient and carrying on
