Lyrics:
The Watcher of Everything (feat. Emily Stellar) [Album Hotel Déjà Vu]

I imagine warm hypnotic hands
Quiet touch
Gently sliding to the back of my neck
Slow steady safe stirring
My skin reacts
I struggle to maintain rhythmic breath
Desires drift

Oh to close my eyes and sail limitless
To surrender the rudder
Yield to the winds
And let the sun warm my body
Like hands warm my neck

I don't know what it's like to trust
I don't know what it's like to say
Can you take the wheel just for a little while
And mean it

To trust the process not the invitation

Whispers in silence
Lost in trance

I ache to put my guard down
To submerge in deeper connection
Yet elusive it bubbles to the surface
Of my awareness
Still out of reach
I carry too much of the world
On me
In me
Inside my person
I am overpowered

My guard stays engaged
And honors his diligent protection
Of my universe
Always alert
Always watching
Most days I maintain
Some days I am strong enough
Other days I want to set it all down
Just for an hour
For a lost familiar taste
Untainted submission
And not be the watcher of everything

To transport to times
Shocking and beautiful
Somewhere before beauty met tragedy
I want deliverance
From this endless void of hypervigilance

I want someone to hold me and say
I've got you Chris
You can put it down now
Mostly I want rest
Even when I rest
The processes are running
Things standing post
Nothing ever fully shuts off
I wake up every day at 3 a m
My head feels like it could explode with fog
Packed tightly
Causing unreasonable pressure
Behind the eyes
I try to nap
No
It won't let me
Silent I lay in the dark
I am drawn by a strange pull
Time stops
The diligent guard disappears

I imagine sparks from a fire
As they gracefully float
Like fireflies in summer
They intertwine
As they lightly navigate the dark sky
I watch them disappear
Realigned with nature
I hear a song so pure
So true
Only my spirit can interpret its meaning

I feel hands
Quiet touch
Gently sliding to the back of my neck
Slow steady safe
The universe winks
And for a moment
Absolution presents itself

Suddenly I awake
And realize I can't put it down
I don't know who can be entrusted
With my most precious cargo
