As You Are

from FOOL // savior by Alden Groves

lyrics

[Chorus]
Remember
Who you were
When you were just one of us
I don’t care
Where you’ve been
I’ll accept you as you are

[Verse 1]
Leave what you want
Take what you need and
Make a scene if you gotta make a scene and
Long story is the short one’s indecent
And I’d be wary of the meaning

But if you’re ready to receive it
I’ve been watching you demean your demeanor
And my former lover wouldn’t have believed it
It’s like I’m sleeping with a demon

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
It sounds meaner than I mean it
But I’m certain there’s a serpent in the cedar
There’s a poison apple I shouldn’t have eaten
The botanicals of Eden

Remember how you were a dreamer
I’m a chemical reaction to your ether
I’d be silent if I thought you couldn’t resurge
From the chasms of the sea girl

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Don’t know you anymore
Dissolve into the petrichor
You know you’ve changed—you’re paranoid
From the serene into the voice

And what am I to say of loving?
When I don’t even know the person I’m in love with
My perception of that person doesn’t function
Unreflected on the surface of the ocean

There’s a blurring that’s too casual to cope with
In this flurry of affliction and emotion
Can we manage not to damage our devotion
Or are we just to leave it broken?

[Verses, Bridge, Chorus, all layered]
