Jacob Lee Knowledge Lyrics

Sit close
Let me tell you every truth I know
I could read you poetry and prose
We could contemplate the syllables
If you so wished for it

If so
Let your consciousness dissolve like snow
Watch the branches replicate your bones
Place the precious palms among your own
Be the water and the boat, and sew our story

Every thought that lies inside of me
Atop the shelves, amidst my library
So when you're older you may visit me
When I'm at peace

Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
It's okay if you don't understand just yet

Speak slow
Let me ask before I take a note
May I read a couple words you wrote?
Every page you touch, the letters glow
From the ashes still we grow

And I'll boast
I can comprehend the words you spoke You're the writer and the quote, and so I hope

Every thought that lies inside of me
Someday finds its way from soul to speech
So I may bestow our legacy
Like you to me

Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh

Like trying to speak while remaining in silence
Or facing your fears without feeling frightened
I'll never know if I'll get to try it
I'll do my best to stay [?]

Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh

Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until understand, I do, oh
