Orphans |
| Think I’m stranded but I don’t know where |
| I got this diamond that don’t know how to shine |
| In the sun where these dark winds wail |
| And these children leave their rulers behind |
| As we cross ten leagues from a rubicon |
| With matchsticks for my bones |
| If we could learn how to freeze ourselves alive |
| We could learn to leave these burdens to burn |
| Cast out these creatures of woe |
| Who shattered themselves |
| Fighting a fire with your bare hands |
| Now my journey takes me further south |
| I want to hear what the blind men sing |
| With their fossils and their gypsy bones |
| I’ll stand beside myself so I’m not alone |
| And how can I make new again |
| What rusts every time it rains? |
| And the rain it comes and floods our lungs |
| We’re just orphans in a tidal wave’s wake |
| If I wake up and see my maker coming |
| With all of his crimson and his iron desire |
| We’ll drag the streets with the baggage of longing |
| To be loved or destroyed |
| From a void to a grain of sand in your hand |
