Thank you to Antonia Logue, and Chris and Rachel Moody for sponsoring this song.

lyrics

I can subhear you speaking with your mind
So many pathways waiting for a sign
How can I hear you speaking with your mind?
Redact a memory take it from your life

Time you were here
Your time is near
Your time is long
My timing’s wrong

A script is written deep within your soul
If you can open up there is a hole
Receive the better, brighter memories
Dark moods can spiral and they can deceive

Instrumental

He’s on his way
Ways they can change
Changing your ways
Wait for a change

Forget what you learn
Scared you might burn
Ripped from one life
A fight to survive.

Taken away to the other side
To another life with the anchorites
Taken away to the other side
From the one he loved for just one night

The fickle future is a grey grim glow
Not enough to eat for the youth
No one to follow, no great hope
Write the unified truth.

Take them away to the other side
To another life where they can survive
Take them away to the other side
So the ones I love can stay alive.

I want to hear you speaking with your mind
So many pathways waiting for a sign
How can I hear you speaking with your mind?
Redact a memory now this is my life.
