lyrics

This is a song for no one I know
This is the day to let down and go
This is the go to for what’s wrong in the world
This is a clue to what seethes in the soul

The turn in the tables alerts everyone
The cold in the answer deafens the tone

In the time when they don’t talk back
Let me say for them the words they don’t have
I can’t hear you your mouth moves too slow
I won’t be trapped here there are places to go

Walk out of the picture and take it over again
Boundaries you drew well they’ve sure kept you in

Let’s build a rock if you can write a reservoir
Assuming only that we have all we are
Committed to the beauty of the law
The one which states we’re not coming back no more

I wanted only your breath to know my skin
To know only where it is to begin
Bodies form out of a restless unity
And take the place where once was memory

Resting in the ruins you get no sleep
A stone throw for a border is some kind of cheat

Nameless is the cause settled for ourselves
Digging up the treasure opens oh well.
