Said "fine" when I was figured out
A small crime and I'm better now
A knock, ring, and a letter combined to a sobering sooth.
Past nine and I'm lingering out
Talked tough but I'm better now
These days my hands are trying to climb from the top of this.
Every now and then I'll find the time
To settle with the pieces that reside
In comfort and warmer light.
now am I still the same?
after 30 under different name
and by my side
a town arms wide
asking if I'd like to stay
stuck between an emerald hill
and place that still knows my
Once my voice was a steady sound
And I made a point to come around
These days volume's not my strong suit.
then hunch says to show myself
the door and I'm running out
stay in place for rest of the year
and even when i'm finally of the mind
to gather up the pieces of what's mine
breath deep and draw the blinds
sabbatical on the mind
am i still the same
spent half a life sharing my name
found a way to keep the body warm
an older place further from old
that day to day
sabbatical make me whole
take me where i'd like to stay
clear the air and clear the room
time recedes and fortune blooms
now i'm still the same
not vessel for the name I...
sabbatical
find the time and find the place
lift the mind from heavy space
now I'm still the same
not vessel for a name
I'm separate, I'm the same
found comfort, found sabbatical
peripheral, adjacent
comfort in a place
and comfort in a distance.
