"The Sea Of Immeasurable Loss" lyrics

"The Sea Of Immeasurable Loss"

Who knows how long I've stood here
Or how many times
I may wander, but I will return
The same time each night

For running water plays the score to this scene
I stand and stare into the mirror
This has become so familiar to me
Because I no longer rest where I used to sleep

A handful of water to cool your face
Will be the only comfort you'll know

So pick up your heart and run for your life
To drain your body of all its energy
For heavy steps on a quiet path
Is the sound of earning your rest

Try to sleep
On the other side of the room
Forget all the time you have lost
For it's the insight that kills you

This night will end
Only to begin again
And nothing will change until the change of the seasons
Many months away

The night is long
Exhausted I make my way home
As the earliest of those begin their day
I finally begin to sleep

This strain that resolves in me
Truly has come at a cost
For the rain that falls on me
Was drawn from the sea of immeasurable loss
