In the Grass

from Begin to Feel by Colin Burke

about

Written when I needed to gain some positive insight in a very low place.

lyrics

It's more than I can stand when you walk away,
And nothing else is sacred.

Run, so far, if you're lucky you'll stay forever
In the grass.
Well I'm worried I don't have that kind of time,
So how am I gunna stitch things up right?

I think about ending it all with my feet up on the couch.

I feel it always, I feel you only-
If you're in my head or in front of my face on a screen
I'll be here always- as long as I can stand to breathe.
I can take a bit of heat, oh it's complicated.

We're sacred now!
Giving it around.
You can bring me back but you can't back down.
We're not clever- more clever than a one click trigger.
So easy let me press and see what it does.
If I destroy the world will you come with?

"It's fate!" you scream,
If I'm lucky you'll take me into your arms.
Well I'm worried I don't have that kind of time-
Better not use that time to say goodbye.

And it's longer than we think- still 40 years if we're lucky.

We're sacred now!
Giving it around.
You can bring me back but you can't back down.
We're not clever- more clever than a one click trigger.
So easy let me press and see what it does.
Would I destroy the world if we could build?

It's more than I can stand when you walk away.
(inside you'll walk away, not a new place for me)
I'm worried I don't have that kind of time.
I'm worried I don't have that kind of time,
Like everyone else does.
I'm worried I don't have that kind of time.
Better not use that time to say....

We're sacred now!
Giving it around.
You can bring me back but you can't back down.
We're not clever- more clever than a one click trigger.
So easy let me press and see what it does.
Would I destroy the world if we could build?
