My Regeneration

Started off a figure

In a painted land

Arrived at some kind of understanding

Where the seasons go slow

And there's no time at

For white lies and surface reactions

There's a light in the distance

At the edge of the night

Scared to open your eyes

Hesitation

There's only so much affliction

You can choose to ignore

Been waiting for your regeneration

I was living on the back roads

She said, "How far d'you wanna drive?"

I said, "I'm having trouble deciding"

I was daydreaming

Till she said my name

Then we talked for the next 100 miles

I gazed at her reflection

In the dashboard lights

Ah this could be my regeneration

When she wound down the window

I could see the crescent moon

It'll be here soon my regeneration

I love old hotels

They got thick thick walls

And heavy curtains over the window

I'm waiting for a sign

To appear in my mind

And drag me out of this limbo

There's a light on the landing

And it stays on all night

Ah this could be my regeneration

The way you tell your story

Is how you survive

How we understand our place in this life

Ended up sleeping

On the floor beside her bed

In a dream decided to wake up

Grabbed all my things

Headed for the door

That's where the picture

Started to break up

I'm ready now I'm leaving

Gonna pour it out like Pericles

In a golden age

Like spring rain on dry ground

Caterpillar crawling round

No way over and no way back

I couldn't find what I wanted

When it didn't feel right

Scared to open my eyes

Hesitation

Regeneration
