lyrics

I occupy my mind from lingering in
This quiet kind of mindful unsettling
I see, I feel dark fish swimming under my skin
Their shapes unsafe and undwindling
It’s half-dark and half unknowing
But I know if I stop and look it in the eye
I’d find my mind flowing with light
And feel the fear dissolve into light

And maybe it would feel like love
The golden haze of it
The silent weight of it
But maybe I’m the hard of heart
No, we’re still indigo

Pause one second and get your priorities correct
And check your obsession for efficiency
I keep intending to stop and listen
But I feel so ill at ease that I don’t see
The swell of life that’s right in front of me
I can’t unlearn that I now know that I’ll die
I can’t undo this new understanding of time
I’m spinning minutes, tripping over limits
I’m running, rushing, I flow
And my stone soul unfolds into indigo

And maybe it would feel like love
The golden haze of it
The silent weight of it
But maybe I’m the hard of heart
No, we’re still indigo

I wish I could have stayed in between
In the wandering, in a nirvana ending
I’m always saying that tomorrow I will stand still
And I’ll keep unfolding until
I’m indigo
