Palingenesis by Tim King Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wake up early morning
Wash the bruises from my dreams
The ones where you and me
Eventually
Are ripping at the seams
I try to fool the dawn and
End up losing everything
I’d die for you my queen
Especially
For all you’ve given me

[Chorus]

I whisper a name out loud
But it doesn’t make a sound
Yeah nothing comes out
How long would you wait for me now?
I wish I could tell you how
But I never touch the ground
My head in the clouds
How long will you wait for…
[Verse 2]

The afternoon is calling
Burning sunlight through the screen
If I keep turning leaves
I might not see
The forest for the trees
Listen to my stalling
I can’t say just what I mean
I’m scared that you might need
New poetry
That doesn’t come from me

[Chorus]

I whisper a name out loud
But it doesn’t make a sound
Yeah nothing comes out
How long would you wait for me now?
I wish I could tell you how
But I never touch the ground
My head in the clouds
How long will you wait for…

[Verse 3]
Now the night is ripping holes in the ceiling
I won’t bother you, I know that you’re sleeping
Try to rid myself of all that I feel
Waiting for you to rise
So I can apologize
Cause you were always right

[Chorus]

I whisper a name out loud
But it doesn’t make a sound
Yeah nothing comes out
How long would you wait for me now?
I wish I could tell you how
But I never touch the ground
My head in the clouds
How long will you wait for…

[Ending]

For all of the restless times
I just wonder
The thoughts spin round your mind
I just wonder
Can I still call you mine?
I just wonder
If all is well and fine
Why are there tears in your eyes?
I just wonder
