lyrics

I feel like a landscape painting
Exposed and revealing
I feel like the sea redeemed
To be seen and not seen
I feel like an unnamed mountain
Unclimbed and forgotten
When I was very young and new
The sea unsung in all it's blue
Now I have left it all behind
The shores of which no longer mine

I feel like an untouched canvas
Unused by the masses
But I want to be clean
A means to ends with no means
The rope has frayed apart like stitches ripped across the scar
But this life is a charm
And painted bright so I am waiting
Confused and parading
But I am pulling through
In uncertainty by Pink and Blue
I know that I am learning
The wheels are slowly turning

When I was an ocean did I sing blue?
And when I was a river, what bodies did I pass through?
Or was there something in the waves
That set me in direction?;
I sang

I feel like a big fish in a bigger ocean
I feel like the sea cracked open
I seem like a nice place to stop to picnic on your summer road trip
I sit as the untouched landscape

Ignited minds will not be burned alive
River winds, saying Winter Has Arrived

When I was an ocean did I sing blue?
And when I was a river, what mountains carved a path into the ground where other rivers ran though?
Or was there something in the waves
That set me in direction?;
I Sang

When I was an ocean
When I was a river
When I was an ocean
When I was a river
When I was an ocean
When I was a river
When I was an ocean
When I was a river
