Dear someone listening in the shadows
I only talk to you sometimes
And though I ask for help in riddles
It is clearer in my mind, clearer in my mind
Born of a sign that carries vessels
But in a month that’s cold as ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I have never questioned if I’ve loved
Dear someone watching from the shadows
I’m clenching water in my fists
the drops, they slip right through my fingers
But there’s water on my lips, water on my lips
Born of a sign that carries vessels
But in a month that brings just ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I’ve never wondered if I’ve loved
Dear someone watching from the shadows
You’ve seen me lose all the water from my hands
I’m not a skillful water carrier
But the raindrops keep falling on my head, falling on my head
Born of a sign that carries water
But in a month that brings just ice
I’m not a skillful water carrier
But I’ve learned to carry love,
learned to carry love…

Don’t tell your secrets to anyone
Because ideas are vulnerable
As soon as you say your idea out loud
Then it can go and live on its own
And you will miss it oh so much
And you will wait for it’s return
And you will wish it were your own
But ideas that left never come back home
Don’t tell your mother that you are afraid
Don’t tell your lover that your heart might break
Don’t tell your gods you no longer believe
Because as soon as you say it out loud they will leave you
And you will miss them oh so bad
And you will wait for their return
And you will wish they were your own
But gods that have left you will never grace your home
