Wading Through the Blue
words & music: Bobby Pennock
Can you hear me? Can you read my inner thoughts?
Can you steer me? Can you alter this course?
Can you reach me? Open up your hands
To catch me / When I fall from where I stand
Ooo—the bitterness is true
Ooo—it’s deeper than I knew
Ooo—it stands to reason now
You brought it on yourself somehow
I can touch you—By just whispering a word
I can wound you—without brandishing a sword
I can tell you—what you need to hear
But it’s no use—you can’t listen through your fear
Ooo—I’m wading through the blue
Ooo—It’s thicker than I knew
Ooo—It stands to reason now
I’ve brought it on myself somehow
All I’ve tried to disavow—and you
There you go—with pretense as your guide
What you do—the next day you deny
I turn around—you stab me in the side
Yet still I look forward to you
Do you fear it: The sound of tragedy?
Can’t you hear it: It’s what we’ve come to be
Ooo—I’m wading through the blue
Ooo—it’s thinker than I knew
Ooo—It stands to reason now
We’ve brought it on ourselves somehow
