lyrics

YOU WERE RIGHT


Truth
is a line.
She's too smart.
She won't bite.
As my hand
draws my hand,
Rome began
but one brick.
Far too rich
for my blood,
or the sun
in a ditch.
Live your life
in reverse,
first you die,
then you birth.
Playing dead.
Play your part.
Play your heart
out of bounds.
Be as big
as the night,
as this beau-
tiful night,
all your friends
at your side,
flying sparks,
by the by.
Giving mom,
giving dad,
to the ground,
to the past.
Time is up.
Time is down.
Blowing in.
Blowing out.
I will sleep
in my clothes.
Deep as breath,
I will dream.
I will dream
of a home.
Of a home
I don't have.
When my dad
met my mom,
did he feel
like I felt?
Holding on,
letting go,
either way,
all at once.
I don't know.
I can't fly.
Hard enough
getting by
by the tip
of my tongue.
I will dawn
on the Sun.
On some day
or some night,
both our hearts
on the line,
I will look
in your eyes.
I won't want
to be right.
I don't want
to be right.
I don't care
anymore.
I will wait
by the door,
like a lost
minotaur.
Start to drift
in her arms,
with a will
to forgive,
like a cross,
like a siv.
Here I lay,
here for hours,
at the top
of my tower,
as the clouds
grow on clouds.
Demons in.
Demons out.
I will see
you around.
I will see
you around.
All the words
in my mouth.
All the dreams
in my heart.
I have changed.
I don't feel.
I don't dream.
Anymore...


Maybe it is nothing.
Maybe it is nothing.
Maybe it is nothing.
Maybe it is nothing.


All I came to say is you were right.
All I came to say is you were right.
All I came to say is you were right.
