lyrics

Oh, the road was damn near silent
Where my dreams lay cold and violent
Locked between two rifts of flesh and blood, divine
Where I recall just what you said
When we had hid beneath your bed
That the monster was above us this time
And I wanted to so badly
Keep you safe from our finale
From these mountains, from these voices in the deep
And I’m trying to stay conscious
But I can’t quite seem to launch
Is this a dream or am I trying to fall asleep?

Well, I hope you stay a while
Cus it’s a long drive home from where we used to be

But if I stay
Down in the valley
It stays the same
But you don’t stay with me

No, I can’t tell you
Or repel you
This is fleeting
We’re still leaving

When I war with coexistence
There’s a tower in the distance
And its bell rings ceaselessly into my past
There’s a soldier back from war
There lays the steeple, there’s the family store
There’s men who’s words would shake like cannon blasts
And the tower’s looming closer
Every second I’m alone
But I wonder if we ever came to pledge
On the boulevard I frequent
Such a momentary lapse of reason
Take me one step closer to the edge

Well, I hope you come and visit once or twice
Before we pack our things and leave

And so it goes
To think everything I loved would cease to grow
To think all our loves must die before it shows
And I gave you my all
For all the wonder I found in the hall, but no

I can’t tell you
Or repel you
This is fleeting
We’re still leaving

But I wonder if you’ve ever known
The life that you live reflects the
Love that which you’ve shown
And if it would ever cross your mind
To call up our loved ones once or
Twice before we die
And I’ve never felt more self assured
Our paths were crossing, we were
Greater than before
And I might have washed up on the shore
But I learned to love the way the
Light shined through your door
