Beside You Calling

It feels so good when confusion
You can turn it off like a light
Bottled up contradictions
Replaced by a better sight
A life of joy condensed to the bliss
Threading through your veins the pulse of all this

A rush of relaxation
Triggered by a pill
Zoning out through dimensions
That stretch so far they can kill

In case you’re falling
In case you’ve fallen down I’ll be
I’ll be here calling
To pull you back up from the ground

It’s hard to keep your balance
When what they say makes no sense
All you hear is the yelling
So you keep behind a fence
You’ve always been the sensitive sort
Now curled into a ball as your last resort

And as you’re falling
As you’re falling down I’ll
I’ll be here calling
To pull you back up from the ground

You were right, there’s much to repair
But there’s another layer, that’s got us scared
That’s why I’m calling you
Please pick up the line
That’s why I’m calling you
Back to where you shine
Shine shine shine, ya you shine
Shine shine from the dark, let it shine
Shine shine shine, ya you shine
You’re so easy to see from the dark where you shine

I hear you’ve been falling
I hear you’ve fallen down, now I’m
Beside you calling
To pull you back up from the ground
