lyrics

Lonely boy, where do we go?
I’m stuck believing on the other side
Stuck on my own
Run fast retreating for a place to hide
Safety in things I’m dumb for thinking
Because a piece of plastic
Is nothing more than a piece of plastic
Empty streets under my feet
How did we get so far from the general beat
Of hearts that cling, held fast together
In the dying day, oh, you are swimming inside the magic hour
And when you wet your skin
You could soak up all you need to know

Picture me, how will you picture me when I am dead?
Fast and free building up fantasy blocks in my head
My legacy do these things dissipate in the years unread
I felt a pain just like a knife, and then the
Time, it left me, oh

I’m just trying to do my best
I’m not afraid of life
I’m afraid of death
Build my love in the things I say
You gotta lift your face to the breaking day

So I ran and I jumped and I flew
till I came into the center of the earth, so cold.
And the wind picked me up,
took me straight into the belly of the fears I hold
And I ran

And I came right back
Threw my arms around you
You were dressed in black
I’m so glad I found you
Before you burned my stuff
Objects all around you
Do we outlast things,
Memories, and sound, or do we
Fade like this

Beat the body down into
The ground, the flesh and the soil
That we love so much
I always wanted to return
Return to the body where I was born
I always wanted to return


Because the time it leaves you
It leaves you like blood, red blood
