lyrics

“Lake Erie (Whispering)”

When I was three years old I got
Lost on the beach
Of Lake Erie with my parents
Out of reach

It was the first time I truly
Felt alone
My mother swore she heard the
Holy Ghost

Whispering
Sending an angel after me
Whispering
Oh

Through my tears I came across
Some kind man
Who led me back into my
Mother’s hands

And there are times when I think it was
Just some dream
Or that I’m still wandering out there
On the beach

Whispering
Waiting on an angel sent for me
Whispering
Oh

So am I still searching for a
Way back home
And is the fear of death just the
Fear of being alone

Or is it really the fear of
Being forgotten?
Drawing songs, riding monsters
Far too often

Or does it all amount to some kind of
Pointless pile
Of words, music, and images
Stretched for miles

But if it’s futile escape, I still
Wanna get caught
Cause if it’s all just fate then
Why the fuck not?

I’m whispering
Sending an angel back to me
Whispering
Oh
Oh
Oh

Today’s gonna be the day, they’re gonna throw it back to you.
