Know That I Am Small

lyrics

I’ll sit outside,
And know that I am small
But loving all the little things
Is bigger than us all

It begins as, an abstraction
Starts it life as an idea
It becomes an overarching hum
Everything can feel
Medicine to the terra infirma,
Manifests and spreads like a mistake
Your tired, weary purpose
Is ripe to pick and there to to take

And I’ll take responsibility for my sins
If thats not enough to love, then I don’t know what is
Coming down the pipeline
Are cobwebs and dust
The once loose valves now sealed
With age and rust
For time is a funny cure to this misery
The spoils of oil and gold are to be dead history
Winding down the hills
Like a snake around a neck
Choking the promise from the land
Younger than death
The land will be a lake
And the lake will become land
Whether by the grace of time
Or by our own hand

I’ll sit outside,
And know that I am small
But loving all the little things
Is bigger than us all

I’ll sit outside,
And know that I am small

Like a gunshot at night
I’ll make my mark
Shouting hard at something unknown
Then dying slow
My lingering memory
Keeping you on edge
My meaning carrying a gravity
Perhaps it was revenge
Or an accident, a simple feud
Or maybe I’m as privy to the reasons
To the reasons as you
Was it unprecedented?
are my feelings a bullet?

I’ll sit outside,
And know that I am small
But loving all the little things
Is bigger than us all

I’ll sit outside,
And know that I am small
