Proverb Lyrics by Emily Afton

Archetype

2016

Tell me a proverb and I’ll tell you how I relate
Lately my peripheral vision only goes straight
These days I’ve spent walking but I’m not sure if I’ve got the right
Kind of shoes for this kind of hike
And my toes they’re all starting to web
From swimming around in the puddles in your head
And I’ll be a diver trying to find it deep down inside
That holy thing that don’t fade with time
Oh I’ll find it
The open mind it calls
Behind your words there’s life and
I am sold
Tell me your story and I’ll hold it up to the sky
I want to see what gets exposed in the light
And I’m trying to learn, I’m trying to learn the meaning behind
This magical thing, this gripping life
Oh I’ll find it
The open mind it calls
Behind your words there’s life and
I am sold
Surround yourself with that which you know to be good
And things will come into your life as they should
And I’m trying to find it now
(To be found, to be found, to be found)
And Oh I’ll find it
The open heart it calls
There’s so much life inside this
I am sold
