lyrics by David Hammes
Yesterday, I stayed behind to find another brother in the trees Who sees the chance to dance across the frost That settled on the metal forest green. He perched upon her shoulder, told her stories of an older time to be And then she linked the ink to something real That the steel could never tether to its dream About to run, about to hide Behind a lonely labyrinth of yellow lines Around the sun, around we slide Along the empty concrete carpets of our lives. Today brought rain and pain to all the people, sheep who'll sleep right through the light of day To say they'd stayed the course to force the will To fill the traceless space with whites and greys. The less you guess, the more you know, So throw another thick brick on the wall And fall back lacking any answers to the questions that we never asked at all. About to run, about to find We've wasted all the ticking seconds on a lie Around the sun, about to... Die inside my empty coffin Off in waters much to clear to hide The tears that sting these fingers, fear that lingers On beyond my darkest frames of mind. I'd like to think the sinking feeling we're falling is absolutely wrong, But it makes me smile to know I'll always have Six feet of earth to one day call my home. About to run, about to find We've wasted all the ticking seconds on a lie Around the sun, around we slide Along the empty concrete carpets of our lives.
