Eric's Song Lyrics

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Strange how you know inside me
I measure the time and I stand amazed
Strange how I know inside you
My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the hazeAnd of course I forgive
I've seen how you live
Like a phoenix you rise from the ashesYou pick up the pieces
And the ghosts in the attic
They never quite leave
And of course, I forgive
You've seen how I liveI've got darkness and fears to appease

My voices and analogies
Ambitions like ribbons
Worn bright on my sleeveStrange how we know each otherStrange how I fit into you
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
Strange how you fit into me
A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needsAnd with each passing day
The stories we say
Draw us tighter into our addiction
Confirm our convictionThat some kind of miracle
Passed on our heads
And how I am sure
Like never beforeOf my reasons for defying reason
Embracing the seasons
We dance through the colors
Both followed and ledStrange how we fit each otherStrange how certain the journey
Time unfolds the petals for our eyes to see
Strange how this journey's hurting
In ways we accept as part of fate's decreeSo we just hold on fast
Acknowledge the past
As lessons exquisitely crafted
Painstakingly draftedTo carve us as instruments
That play the music of life
For we don't realize
Our faith in the prizeUnless it's been somehow elusive
How swiftly we choose it
The sacred simplicity
Of you at my side
