So Many People

I painted you on my doorpost
When the angel of death passed by
Your precious heart is like an orchard that grows within mine
And this house has become my cage
All the windows still hours from my eyes
And they let in so little light it makes me think that I’m blind
There are so many people
That fall like the snow that collects outside
I know between them they feel
everything so I don’t have to feel alright
Well I’m lonely when I’m around people
They are all sure of things that I can’t relate
I’m still losing all of my sleep over all of our faith
I’ve been the altar inside of your temple
I’ve been condescended by stars
And I know there is no stranger feel
in the window who knows where you are
There are so many people
That flow like the lashes that fall from my eyes
I know between them they believe
everything so I don’t have to be right
