| Cutting off the light
|
| Like I would an engine
|
| Walking through the night like I’ve gone missing
|
| Missing from the place I live
|
| Missing from my brain I guess
|
| Looking for some good in another’s hand
|
| Looking for a life I could understand
|
| There’s violence in the ways I left
|
| Violence in the way again
|
| Even then, you come in nightly
|
| Even in a dream I’d spun
|
| Even in the summer sun
|
| I could not run
|
| Glistening or faded
|
| I’m sitting where it all began
|
| I gave up on a promised land
|
| But you were my friend
|
| Aging, now I feel it
|
| It’s always slipping through my hands
|
| It wasn’t what I thought back then
|
| When beautiful birds were flying
|
| Beautiful birds were flying
|
| Circles in the sky, I’m finding
|
| My way with them
|
| Looking at the sky for an opening
|
| Looking for some life on an empty screen
|
| There’s violence in the ways I live
|
| Violence on my mind, trace it
|
| So I’m turning on the light when I let you in
|
| I open up my mind with a new question
|
| Now how could you possibly be?
|
| Now what could you possibly need?
|
| Nothing, now I face it
|
| There’s nothing on the other side
|
| I want to live inside your life
|
| With violence on my only mind
|
| When beautiful birds were flying
|
| Beautiful birds were flying
|
| Circles in the sky, I’m finding
|
| My way with them |
