House & Home - Make Light. Lyrics

I haven't been as present lately
As I would like to be
And some things aren't as complicated
As I would make them seem
There's no ignoring ringing in my
Ears and no relief
Like a bluebird's resting on my shoulder
But I can't make it sing

There's a reason to stay
There's a reason to walk away
I'll either burn bright or fade
But the notes just won't resonate

I've been trying not to waste my time
I wake up to lightning through my blinds

The cycle's not so vicious now that
The ends just don't connect
I'll focus on the introspective
A look inside my chest

Calm and try to collect
Celebrate what you haven't missed
Busy hands never rest
Making plans, falling from the nest

I've been trying not to waste my time
I wake up to lightning through my blinds
For years I stayed asleep and now I try
To find sense, feel love, make light
