lyrics

Don’t you hear them in the streets?
Do you think they’ll come for me?
With flames in hand, and bottles on their breath,
the devil’s laughin at every step
I take my lovers hand,
and she tells me that all things turn to sand
in time I find my mind wandering here,

where walls start to bloom and grow
it’s here we learn to let go
of the all the things we may have assumed
of all the time spent in lofty estates
or pigeon coops, a room and flat rate
may bring sleep, but there’s no resting here
when you know your home’s in the ground.

The candle burns from the trumpets mouth.
A ringing bell sings a song of time
to the solidifying lake below it’s lips.
Drip by drip the people of the sky
claw the air to find their home in the ground.

Will you pick my sons eyes up?
They’ve strayed towards darkness
and lost their glow
(we’ve made our home
in the ground)

Tell me, have you seen the sea?
Could you please help me to be
more like the tide, rolling in and out
always spitting in the watchman’s face
without a sense of time I tell my lover
it will all be just fine, till then
Oh, hold me dear. We’ll flow into each other until we find

where walls start to bloom and grow
it’s here we learn to let go
of the all the things we may have assumed
of all the time spent in lofty estates
or pigeon coops, a room and flat rate
may mean sleep, but there’s no resting here.
