lyrics

I feel a darkness rising
To meet me where I used to stay
There’s a storm on the horizon
It will be here any day

Words have lost their meaning
Melody is without light
Major chords all sound like leaving
Even my angels can’t tell wrong from right

Enter hope
Enter love
Come on up from below
Down from above
Enter grief
Enter time
Keep on working your lines until they rhyme

After dreaming of a great flood
I walked into a field of fire
In my mouth there was the taste of blood
My heart was hung up on a wire

I watched you mourning from a distance
The headstones rose like Lazarus
The words upon them did a quick dance
And disappeared into the dust

Enter hope
Enter love
Come on up from below
Down from above
Enter grief
Enter time
Keep on working your lines until they rhyme
Keep on working your lines until they rhyme
Keep on working your lines until they rhyme
