lyrics
I sit from forty yards and I feel my face warm
Pull grass around my eyes and I feel my taste go
I pour myself in sand and I see my eye lids
They brighten up and dim as the falling sun hits
Out on the balcony planes hit the chimneys
I talk to the grass saying please let me die
I am sorry the water I had never hit you
Well good thing these trees seem to last for awhile
I throw some music on and the walls keep growing
We slide right through it all as our lips keep moving
We crossed the whole cross walk as we looked for nothing
I saw you on the rocks I was feeling nothing
There in my seat I knew one day this wall would fall
Branches and ridges would form in its place
They’re building up stables with wood from the rubble
You’re coming back early I saved you a place
Pull grass around my eyes and I feel my taste go
I pour myself in sand and I see my eye lids
They brighten up and dim as the falling sun hits
Out on the balcony planes hit the chimneys
I talk to the grass saying please let me die
I am sorry the water I had never hit you
Well good thing these trees seem to last for awhile
I throw some music on and the walls keep growing
We slide right through it all as our lips keep moving
We crossed the whole cross walk as we looked for nothing
I saw you on the rocks I was feeling nothing
There in my seat I knew one day this wall would fall
Branches and ridges would form in its place
They’re building up stables with wood from the rubble
You’re coming back early I saved you a place
