lyrics

For forty days and forty nights
I stared into the hot sunlight
Burned out my eyes so I could start to see

Lines and phrases disappeared
But shapes and intentions stayed clear
I started to feel like I was made to be


Then I heard your voice whisper
And it sounded a lot like mine
I couldn't make out what we were saying
But reassurance can take some time


The forty-first day, it got here quick
I drank until I was sick
Disconnected spirit from my head

Woke up the next morning
Chemicals were storming
Finally made it home to my bed


Then I heard your voice whisper
And it sounded a lot like mine
We were begging me to cool it
Before I step out of line

I made myself a promise
To stay where I could hear
The voice inside the silence
The reason why I'm here
