The bandages are swollen
Sirens ring and whine
The red light on my clock pulses
Like the small end of time
People look like sketches
It's difficult to write
I've been sending out postcards
Leaving the second side white
We throw hammers at shadows
Then scamper from the shine
I'm just looking for the light in your eyes
The greedy and the grounded
Both sneak out the back way
When the only light you'll find
Are our memories of the past day
It's orbiting around you
Crown the evening sky
It's the sun let go of it's grip
And slipped out of the sky
I sail into anotherversion of this dream
My hands lay flatand still across my knees
The bone police machine men
They'll ask you for a light
And if you're not a smoker
Then they'll challenge you to fight
They'll make you feel unwelcome
They'll make you feel unkind
Still what you seek and where you are
Both fall on the same line
And my imagination runs wild and dark bright
I'm just looking for something to ignite
The angels a cappella
One breath at a time
The woods are filled with bandits
We're outnumbered one to five
And Judas told the abbott
I'm losing too much sleep
I'm terrified to go back
I'm so scared of what I'll see
It's like falling into traffic
One step at a time
Questions with no answers fill my mind
The bone police machine men
They'll ask you for a light
And if you're not a smoker
Then they'll challenge you to fight
They'll make you feel unwelcome
They'll make you feel unkind
Still what you seek and where you are
Both fall on the same line
And my imagination runs wild and dark bright
I'm just looking for something to ignite
The angels a cappella
One breath at a time
The woods are filled with bandits
We're outnumbered one to five
And Judas told the abbott
I'm losing too much sleep
I'm terrified to go back
I'm so scared of what I'll see
It's like falling into traffic
One step at a time
Questions with no answers fill my mind
I just need the sun's beams to see
I don't need no one to lead me
With all things being equal
And all things being fair
I'm climbing up the stairs
I'm mending what has tears
I've been drenched in sunlight
And then in comes the night
It's a world of tribes and countries
And these banks with long dark sleeves
And everyone's so close yet out of reach
Yesterday was sorrow
May tomorrow bring sunshine
I'll meet you by the buzzing exit sign
After we die
