Waking Up

Swing low
The air you breathe only graced your tongue
But I
I’ve heard
That you’re always seeking silence
And I’ve learnt
That the weight that was is at violent cost
Swing low
Come on…
I’ve seen the Western world sleeping
It’s changed you
And all the people that you’ve been meeting
They changed you
And all the colour that sits in my mind
Oh, a violent shade, a violent shade
They don’t give me time to fade again
Swing low
How the waves react in this violent black
And you, you turned
Now we’re always seeking silence
And we’ve learnt
That this ocean breeze is the air we need
So swing low; come on…
You’ll suffocate in my smoke
I’ve seen the Western world sleeping
It’s changed you
And all the people that you’ve been meeting
They changed you
And all the colour that sits in my mind
Oh, a violent shade, a violent shade
They don’t give me time to fade again
If we’re chasing luck
Then I’ll leave this home
Cuz I’m burning fuel, a fire, a comfort that never comes
I am a fool for loosing you
I wouldn’t cave again
I’m waking up…
