My Own Soul's Warning

I tried going against my own soul's warnin

But in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming

I just wanted to get back to where you are

If you could see through the banner of the sun

Into eternity's eyes like a vision reaching down to you

Would you turn away?

What if it knew you by your name?

What kind of words would cut through

The clutter of the whirlwind of these days?

I tried going against my own soul's warning

And in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming

Thunderheads were forming

But man I thought I could fly

And when I hit the ground

It made a messed up sound and it kept on rattling through my days

Cutting up my nights like a goddamned knife

And it got me thinking no matter how far

That I just wanted to get back to where you are

I tried going against my own soul's warning

But in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried running from the memory and the mourning

But the penalty kept on pouring

And now I think I know why

'Cause when I hit the ground

It made a messed up sound and it kept on rattling through my days

Cutting up my nights like a goddamned knife

And it got me thinking no matter how far

I just wanted to get back to where you are
