lyrics

When was it that you first called my name?
In the late April rain,
Was it you tapping in code against my window?
In the heat of early July,
Was it you bending the light into those alien letters?
And in the last days of fall,
Did you write your poetry into those first flakes of snow?
Only to have them melt in my palm.
My friend, how long have you waited?

What are we under?
Where are we now?
Don’t blow my cover
Don’t scare me out
Inside, bite by little bite
People disappear
Lost – driven by survival
Has it happened here?

And I’m catching on fast like some kind of natural
Time is redefining what we are
I gave it all I had, never get the timing on
But when everything is said and done
The avalanche carries all of us

This ride – I have never like it
Lions we create
Rest – I don’t wanna fight anymore
Who was right? Who am I?
You decide
I cannot relate

Let gravity pull you under
Ice crack, switchback, falling on the wind
The ground beneath: blown asunder
Look back, time-lapse, when did it begin?

Swollen rush
Let it out and take it back, high roller
And I forget you over there, so high up
Run down
