"Wizard Talk" lyrics

Wizard, do you think you can remember what I did with my old mind?
You look around and you say, "Brother, give it time"
You look around and you say, "Wait a second, wait"
But right above my clavicle, the world becomes so laughably old
It's like I've been here for a decade on my own
You said, "It's been a decade," and I had enough
And beaches strewn with pulpits and ohms
Where the cross is like a spark among your loam
I believe there is a wall a line of stone by the river
And though we share a tongue we can't recount it into words
You cannot spill a vault entirely into verbs
I never meant to make you live it all again

I'm thinking 'bout the relative ways
That all I do is age
And buried there's a version of me hurting and I'm letting him down
I wanna go, I wanna go home
I can't let this one go
I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved, hey

Wizard, I've been following a colour but you had to spit it out
You said, "I never have a fear or a doubt"
My world is smaller now but everything is near
And maybe we could rub off every bit of us and store it in a tank
I whisper, "How much will they pay at BioBank?"
You sighing tissue from the youth of yesteryear
And bludgeons flailing arcs form a queue
I'm a coward, I'm a devil, I'm a fool
But I never understand the weight of all, all life decisions
Wizard, I been thinking 'bout the magic that you said would here prevail
And I felt it when they left you and I failed
And yes, I wanna be there when you die

I'm breathing for the moment alone
My early self unknown
The silences that follow you won't always be the hollow I filled, hey
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved, hey
I'm thinking 'bout the relative ways
And all I do is age
Buried there's a version of me hurting and I'm letting him down
Hey, I'm in descent, hey
I wanna go, I wanna go home
I can't let this one go
I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved, hey, hey
I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved, no, solved

I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved, hey, hey
I think about my problems and the way that they will never be solved, solved, no solved
I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved, hey
I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved, hey
