lyrics

The absence of love and the satisfied feeling
of being alone on a Thursday
And watching the steam from the coffee cup rising
and becoming part of the scenery
There is a distant plane hums overhead
like a quiet reminder of something
But I will live lightly until the day comes
when my chest is a cage for the earth and rain

Savoring words that will sweeten with time
and the look of a friend who's always loved you
And biting the hand and then eating the limbs
of a tyrant disguised as a saint
Realizing that you've invited this pain
but it's good there is blood still inside you
But when will we go from these cities, these trees
and the bottles that fill up with wine and beer?

I am in love with the people I've met
but I cannot be bound to them always
And wishes are grand but these fingers in sand
are like doors made of someone's intentions
But birds they sing plainly from dusk until dawn
and we're still here just wishing to be them
But if I had wings I would want for these things
that can swim through the waves in the deep blue sea

Blue light of day
Blue light of day
Blue light of day
Blue light of day
