Song lyrics - Referencing the amazing novel 'The Clearing'

I told you the things that I did, the things that I said
Was just God working through me
You said
God is not working through us,
we are working for ourselves
In honour of what we contain.

Its hard to imagine being truly alone
We play our role as a part of the whole
Yet sometimes the absence of feeling
Is like a blindfold for the soul.

I don’t want to let you down
But im a burden for you, I know
I don’t want to let you down
But I don’t wanna let you go
I bought this novel about nothing really
Just a guy at a sawmill with his wife
I couldn’t put it down
But I didn’t want it to end
I just want to erase the last week
And pick it back up again
