Present Tents

[Verse 1]
Deep in the pocket of the day
I found a quiet place
Free from my eight-bar loop of mistakes
No confrontation can take it away

[Chorus]
I lost everything
But here I am and I'm feeling good today
I was shattering
But here I am, a knife in the fire

[Verse 2]
There are no memories I would keep
Save for these last few days
No more resentments, fear or distrust
The light hasn't died but it has changed

[Chorus]
I lost everything
But I'm here and I'm feeling good today
I was shattering
But here I am, a knifе in the fire

[Outro]
A jovial, heavy jawеd, red face
Some grey in his close-trimmed hair
Like it or not he came to me
Like it or not he is always around
A grip of vicious compassion
A kiss of unconditional acceptance
And no one can take him away
He's more than a passenger now
He's my paradise
