lyrics

How long has it been?
I am sure we have missed it.
Somewhere, when it was left,
Our head turned right.
Once, its voice was carried on the wind,
But we were indoors.
And what is left now?
Shadows and Echoes.
Imprints and Absence.
Look there and trace its outline.
I am sure we have missed it.

Don’t count on me – I will file out of heaven
Pleasing me, trying to find someone to have it
Deep down on the bottom
I can feel it coming closer
Reaching out from below

Siren, feed
Give me some thunder
There’s a time for peace and a time to go low
It’s so dark that I can’t see
Whatever I’m under
Get up, I said
Get up, I had control
Heaven, I lost it

Get a look at me, I got half a hundred faces
Each one sees – can they find the missing pages?
Pull me now
Nearly touching my Creator
Hold me down til I’m free

I concede all of my ambition
It’s a bona fide decide to die alone
Get up, I tried to fight – turned back twice
But a fool won’t listen
Get up, I said
Get up, I had control
Heaven I lost it

Call me out slow – down rhythm
Take me to the stranger deep inside
Let it out slow, my siren
Calling from the one place I can’t hide
Hit me til I’m what you wanted
Hit me for what I used to be
I’m inside, underwater
And I don’t wanna feel myself sink
