humid nights

and then the air answered for me
while i stood facing your
wall of questions
and then you laid the weight upon me
before i was ready
to carry out all of my intentions

the tension was high
the nights were so humid
the look in your eye
made me feel so useless

to harvest all that i've sewn
or to watch all that's grown
turn to ashes?

and then the sea parted for me
while i stood facing the shore
and i took the weight off my shoulders
that i had carried before

the tension was high
the nights were so humid
the look in your eye
made me feel so damn useless
the look in your eye
made me feel so stupid
the look in your eye
made me feel so human
