Streetlight Fire - Everest

Curse my eyes for they see far too clearly
Were this lies I've died a thousand times for not good enough?
Bless by father's heart for it loved to weakly
Will what we find be worth the hunt?
And I so lost for leaving an empty love?

My mother said don't you dare start fires
that you can't put out on your own

You are my Everest, you own my patience
I'm the sum of my decisions and my shortcomings and resentment
I'm carving out pieces of my mind to erase the ghosts we left behind
I won't chase false idols or a view of you more beautiful
Bless your brittle heart for it held to tightly
Wisdom comes in different tongues
but your love lies too easily

You are my Everest, you own my patience
I'm the sum of my decisions and my shortcomings and resentment
You are the Red Sea, and I am tearing at the seems
I'm in progress and dependent, hopeful, blessed and rested

You have taken so much from me
