lyrics
Oh, our minds are racing now
I’m fakin like i’m sleepin and your breath gives way, your wide awake
but so far this old penance paid in full leaves me
shackled to the pain of doubt, my crippled soul cant search you out
no more than rain could spark this fire
not two days ago we blew and blew and made it glow
through the eddies and the currents
are we bound to find our way
when not a single answer’s
curing troubled minds can we create
all our lovers might have left us
but they’re light was only hid
be patient now, just search they eyes and listen in:
if you can hear a heart beat
all in spite a long time
we could both be home
Are these memories fading now?
in our days we mute the playful minds,
the fools mistook hope as a lie
‘so long’ we say under shaded way so lost daydreaming
but sick and poor will give you more
than cross street wisdom and iron bars
for who we hold in life’s found in the stray, so lend a
hand on through as if it’s you
who’s bound to the threads of cruelest chance
once again we face th’ darker days
this money trap just holds us back, watchin daylight fade’s the damnedest waste
one blink, the colors fade it all seems lost, but keep lookin
up and know we’re tied to what we sow, the notes pass on they’re never
lost behind these eyes weep melody so anxious
never had you so many, many miles away
