    LYRICS
    My fire is starved of oxygen
    A flicker in the howling wind
    Beware the night is closing in
    And if I fall asleep the shadows win
    Well the darkness came to take my faith
    It tried to steal my words to pray
    My love came down like holy rain
    And She became my god that day
    She taught me how to think out loud
    To listen when there ain’t no sound
    To love myself through all the doubt
    To sing and make my mother proud
    In the dark I learned to love again
    A sacred place it’s always been
    Where souls depart and life begins
    The dark led me to light again

    I’m sharing this earlier than I was planning... I’m not even sure if this will be the final version of it, but I think it’s special and applies to what we are all experiencing as humans. My darkness looks different than yours, but we feel it in similar ways. Thankfully, I am loved by a wife and kids whose love shines bright.
    I don’t believe we are meant to be alone, but that doesn’t change the fact that we often are. If this song finds you alone, I hope it walks with you. I’m excited for you to hear it, as well as a bunch of new ones soon. Stay safe and stay well.

    I adopted a ferral kitten on Thursday, he was extremely aggressive and anxious.

It can be difficult sometimes and not the easiest journey but if you hang on its gonna be so rewarding. Most of my life I felt buried alive. we are here once and have to make it beautiful and special.

    Can I just say that I'm weirdly captivated by the background? I'm probably reading way too mush into this but seeing how the picture comes apart and then back together again, the way the two parts eventually merge into one, becoming reflections of each other to form a single view much like the sky shining with its eternal brightness on the surface of a lake - and the lake 'reciprocating'... Man, this is gorgeous. Both the song and the video. Love you, SYML, you give me so much hope!

    Wauw just wauw. Listening with tears coming up from head and heart at the same time. It hits the feelings of loneliness, depression, not being accepted the way you are, judged by colour, a broken health like now recovering from COVID-19. Thank you Brian and all around SYML for opening up to the world and sending us this present. I deeply wish everyone who reads this a place to be called a safe home with love for the beautiful not perfect human that you are. Please look for someone to talk if life hits you now in all force. The world needs your story to be heard! And after that? You can share hugs by telling your story to others who will be waiting to hear how to deal with life. Till Then big big hugs and stay safe.☀️❤️

    This song made me cry one day. I was on the ship, in the Navy. And have been going through the worst times I have ever encountered, I felt lost. And yet also, while going through these tough times, I have learned a lot about myself. I have seen beauty in myself in times I never thought I would. I listened to this song one day, while the sun was rising out to sea and I realized for me, this song is not about another person-bur about myself.

    All of your music soothes my soul. I have no other words other than Majestic & Priceless. Whenever I'm lost or depressed I turn to SYML and find comfort in your lyrics. Thank you for sharing the comfort so many of us need. Stay blessed always!
