Admission: Regret

so I hear there's a whole world out there

but I've grown to love this bed too much to leave it

if love really drives out fear

then I pray it's her voice I've been hearing outside my door

one more time, love, won't you come remind me

I'm someone believed in

I'm someone still within your reach

'cause all I've got is sleep

against my fear of being swept away

by the wind, the undertow, and thought

regret

so I hear there's a whole world out there

but I've grown to love this bed too much to leave it

I keep hearing about this world out there

come untie me from this bed

come untie me from the wicked things I love

awake! awake in the company of men given something to say

give me a servant's heart and a tongue to obey

awake! come wind

awake! come thought

tired head, take up your mat,

take your mat and walk
