lyrics

I walked on the dark side of everyone’s everything more
And wondrous fairies they walk through the crack in the door
Walls of old pavement shine quick like a glimpse of the moon
Friends that I’ve had, like towers they shoot to the moon

My fate has been sealed and I watch from my bedroom door
The city winks dim in the map on the floor of my mind
Drifting bodies on streets made from blood and from bone
They feel the wind as it washes from sky to alone

The boy bit wildly, the water it swam to a freeze
The girl met with sadness saw light coming out from her knees
People who wander and all I see now is them here
Lovers and diamonds and old wooden castles’ ears

I walked on the bright side of no one’s nothing now
Clunky old tears bump down the side of my face
Carefully crafting a life on the side of a cliff
We watch as the winds howl till the womb wakes up

If seas of memory crashed in the waves of my head
If floods of foresight whipped the hat from your hair
I’d split into pieces, two big smiles, one dark eye
Worlds of sadness and inklings of happiness, I cry

I walked on the dark side of the thought
Of you in old patterns from the night sky
How I will recognize them in the dark, it escapes me
But I know you will be near me
