Echoing words like butterflies
Pierce through me like the grey of seaside mist
Breath looking for a soft place to land
All those summers we took for granted still haunt me
And in the stumbling moonlight I sink into my trembling hands
All of your hatred and misguided frustrations
Sail into dark waters, and your tongue gets caught
In the snare of a bitter lie, but your shield is getting weak
And I can see through you like the paper I've traced
How you're always trying to prove your love
How I'm longing to touch your face
Light is too big for hate to comprehend
The river has gone and it's time for me to sleep
Pearls glitter in me, I'm a bean on a string
Dwelling in misty caves of strange forgetfulness
A fish on a hook, sweeping black-white cream
Sulphur-bent pilot looking for that philosopher's stone
I'm over the games we play
The fog rolling down the hill, the waterfall of sadness
A flash of shiny moonlight, eyes bleeding thoughts with no colours
The heroin of your primrose sinking in
I walk down halls of water-damaged photos hanging in silver frames
And in those cruel moments, I forget the way
Forgot what I was going to say and became a reaction
Blind to all the things that have happened
The seas we've crossed, the lands we've crossed
Just to be here, singing about freedom
Morning is a witch
Night is a symptom
The sky is a road we're soaring through
Holding on for the ride, the violins piercing my ears
All of this delight escaping like smoke from my memories
Yesterday is long gone, a wing looking at the Northern Star
Remembering how the years passed and left us breathless
How you left me with this suitcase of hurting
Warm hands stretching out to feel nothing
We pray and believe, these days there's no faith
These old fashioned walls have opened the floodgates
So we sit in our misery and smile at little things
We raise our glasses and nod, when a new day begins
And the leaves are falling
Morning is a witch
Night is a symptom.
