Concealed In Clouds - Hearkener

{Verse 1}
A sun is never darker
Than the day it stops to dream
A river never more callous
Than its bones beneath the stream

I'll try to be the hearkener
And breathe to waves under the clouds
Embrace the water in my lungs

I saw my body being beaten
Castrated from their attacks
I found the pieces that were left
Inside cosmic astral cracks

This cage I call my ribs
Is like a castle for my heart
A fortress to protect me
When my arms are left apart

{Chorus}
I'll try, I'll try
To not be hollow

Be the man I want to be
Be the shepherd not the sheep
Who follows

{Verse 2}
I keep forgetting why I lay here
Apathetic against my will
I know there's independence out their
An abundance of what I need

What I need

{Chorus}
I'll try, I'll try
To not be hollow

Be the man I want to be
Be the shepherd not the sheep
Who follows

{Bridge}
All the blisters on my fingers
And the mud between my toes
It's just the way that darkness lingers
And how my worry ever grows

{Chorus}
I'll try, I'll try
To not be hollow

Be the man I want to be
Be the shepherd not the sheep
Who follows
