Lyrics Remains to be Seen - James Paddock

I shelter warm from the bleakest outdoors
And it gives me some comfort for sure
That within the arms of at least a thousand hearts
I am unconditionally... known

I've done my time, laid it all out on the line
At least that's what I'll write in my story
'Cos my soul's not for sale, it's public domain
And if I've left out any details, then I'm sorry

But life today is temporal
Fleeting and ephemeral
One thing keeps me fearful
And that's one day you'll forget me at all...

But down in the earth
Where I'll finally sleep
Will I see a rebirth
As the one I've sought to be?
Of my buried hurt
That I keep so deep
Will they ever ask, or learn?
I guess that remains to be seen

Staring down both barrels is
What I'm facing up against
Fighting endless choice paralysis
A world of unfathomable depth

But down in the earth
Where I'll finally sleep
Will I see a rebirth
As the one I've sought to be?
Of my buried hurt
That I keep so deep
Will they ever ask, or learn?
I guess that remains to be seen
Yeah, yeah

And once down in the dirt
Will I finally see peace?
And will I ever stir
In your memories?
They must never learn
Of the courage I've burned
And like embers from the pyre
Will I spark and light a fire?
All I want's to have inspired
And for what remains to be seen

(And for my remains to be seen...)
