Streetlight Fire - Boundaries

I tried hard to understand, but stopped and accepted my ignorance
as a being who can't see beyond his boundaries:
time and the sky and the ocean that surrounds me.
If you thought I was brave enough to face my fears, then that makes two of us.
I've escaped death a few times.
An apparition of some kind took took the fall,
and said "everything will be all right"
I sunk inside my soul,
searching for compassion I hardly know.
I realized that what I thought was faith was just a bravado.
I sunk inside my soul
and found a cancer that I let form.
I bottled it in day-dreams, thinking that I could escape just by never coming home
Life doesn't change if you don't,
and life seems a waste if you're frozen.
Don't tell me you're too sad to make the most,
'cause we all come from places that nobody knows.

I fell in love with a bruise
twisted and crude
A reminder of all the things I gave up
and all the things we gave it meaning
just by finding out we could be brave
I sunk inside my soul,
searching for compassion I hardly know.
I realized that what I thought was faith was just a bravado.
I sunk inside my soul and found a cancer that I let form.
I bottled it in day-dreams, thinking that I could escape just by never coming home
Jealous love, you found me.
You broke my chains and made clear my surroundings.
If I escape I won't fall to far away.
The sun stands still, time stays in it's place.
