lyrics

Silence slows the room
When no one speaks
Far far from the light

Emotions linger
Patiently
Upon the empty night

On a shore, on a whim
Grasping at the cold

Lying there, whispering
Words that fell unheard

Mouth moves, wandering
Like thoughts done up in red

Bows his head as stillness takes
All the words he left unsaid

Remnants of dreams scattered in the waves
On a tide that's only seen in greys

Reaching out, hopelessly, just to find a one
Coming short, aimlessly, falling from the sun

Am I the last alive? Am I the last alone?
Am I the first to die or the first to know?
Is this the distance I must go
To reach out and crease the fold?

All we are: the dust of stars
All we are: the dust of stars

Bone to bone
Days to weeks
La-la lovely sight

Elegance,
So naturally
Composed of green and whites

On the edge, in a dream
Breaking up the ice

Peering out, stitch the seam
While pulling to the right

Eyes swell, lovingly
As if there's been a change

On his knees, faithlessly
But nothing looks the same

All the pieces are torn, and set a blaze
Tints of blues are seen in the flames

Reaching out, hopelessly, just to find a one
Coming short, aimlessly, falling from the sun
Reaching out, hopelessly, just to find a one
Coming short, aimlessly, falling from the sun
