Don't Wait on Witches

from Early Magic by Tom Hymn

/

lyrics

Step outside and feel the breeze
Let the muddy Earth wash your knees
The sun and moon are beggin you come round
I don't know where you're coming from
But it's clear to see you've come undone
But you can replant your roots in this town

Voices keep on talking
Some thoughts keep on walking
Through your mind like they own the place
I know it's hard not to listen
And sometimes you even give in
But soon they'll be gone without a trace

I can see the weight of these old negative beliefs
Have done you in. There's always time for new ones to being

On the streets of Sante Fe
You were lost but you knew the way
You bummed a square and called it a night
Now you're walking the barrio
Through the window's blasting a stereo
Singing, "let that light inside flicker bright"

And come from behind the cycles that keep spinning in your mind
Come to the floor. Open your eyes you ain't never seen this before

Waking up from whiskey dreams
With planes crashing in the seas
That feeling in your gut will still be there when you land
Fear of the truth that will set you free
Keep fighting that urge you have to flee
If you walk in the dark you can take my hand

It makes me weep to see you like that stuck on repeat
So strike a match. We'll let it burn and never look back

I'm coming home. I'm coming home. I'm coming home

This life I've been living all these times I've been giving in
Feels like I've been selling my soul
But it's taken me 27 years now to say 'hey fear, I don't need you anymore'

These thoughts I've been thinking more like I've been sinking
Feels like my favorite toy that's always broke
But I'm done waiting on witches and you burn all my riches
I'm a new child that's been born

All this griping and bitching, a crooked hand of religion
Well I can't blame you now
And I guess there's something to say about listening to that feeling in
Your gut, but is it always true?

It's reaping and sowing, and here's to hoping
I think I need to dig a little more
I'm coming home
