lyrics

The sun is rising of the water
bleached white bones, your southern daughter
drag the deep and watch our bridges melt away
Still in dreams I see this face
two blackened eyes in empty space
but now that's leaving with the coming of the day
The crows still sing this tune
carving craters in the moon
can't forget it all too soon
I've been down paths so dim
now there's something closing in
there's something closing in

Brought some gas to scorch the earth
and watch the flames dance to the birth
of buildings raised with open arms up to the sky
Still you see the ground is burning
from the top your wheels are turning
breathe the smoke and hold your breath and try to fly
Remember what they mean
or you'll never come out clean
see the sirens as a sign
Stop, know what's in store
or don't bother me no more
what was yours can just be mine.
