Muted Smile

Here on the ground
You only see the sky
Pulled against the tide
Your bones never settled right
And you fell when the wrong eclipsed the right
You and your muted smile
As if you weren’t who they say you are
Leave your winter hide
Sun dance flare burns in your heart
Your stubborn soul
Keeps the moon from night
Beneath the sun
You sleep to hush the light
And dreams of
Stars would whisper truth
But you’d stay deaf to tend a bruise
You and your muted smile
As if you weren’t who they say you are
Leave your winter hide
Sun dance flare burns in your heart
Sun, sun burns in your heart
Sun, sun burns in your heart
I wish we were
Laying on the moon
I’d give you the world
Like I always said I’d do
From up here the ocean seems to small
If you jumped we could spend a lifetime in the fall
You and your muted smile
As if you weren’t who they say you are
Leave your winter hide
Sun dance flare burns in your heart
Sun, sun burns in your heart
Sun, sun burns in your heart
You float to the blackout
It’s only you now
And the air in your chest
And for the first time
You hear your heart beat
You find the fuse you need
To light the darkest paradise
You and your muted smile
As if you weren’t who they say you are
Leave your winter hide
Sun dance flare burns in your heart
Sun, sun burns in your heart
Sun, sun burns in your heart
