about

Our friend Thompson took his life and this is about a dream I had the next night, and about how we need to all show our love towards someone all the time, and not just before it's too late.

lyrics

Gazing up at the spiral sky
I feel so calm with open eyes.
So light, so free, falling down into your arms
that hold me up with dignity.
Is this real, this love, this light?
Revealing
itself only after the fight and flight to flee
drifting down for you to see me now
for who I'm really meant to be.

The bodies that wash up on the shore
must mark the day that love must rule
against all odds we break down the walls of pain and fear
of distrust and anger
I'll teach you to love but you must hold on to it
through the times of doubt and discomfort
and when you all fall I'll be there waiting....
The bridge will bring us together....
