Uncut Pages - Flakes Lyrics

Pinned by my blanket's weight
Close my eyes and I drift away
There's nothing else that I can do today
A change in the air nearby
Open my eyes and I see
Flakes are falling softly to the ground
Silent and muffled close
My heart beating in slow motion
Dizzied by this spinning carousel
Blinking slowly with hazy eyes
Am I dreaming, am I alive?
As with the flurries I am gathered up

I dream of a time to dream
But I've barely the time to breathe
Suffocated by the weight of time
All I have known is gone
So we trip and we stumble on
But I would like to just sit here a while

Lift me up once again
If there is anybody left to bear my weight
We will run underground
I thought I'd found a place to rest my head but it crumbled away

Watching with your eagle's eye above the earth
See us dig ourselves into the dirt

So lift me up once again
If there is anybody left to bear my weight
We will run underground
I thought I'd found a place to rest my head but it crumbled away
So lift me up once again
