lyrics

we lay our thoughts in sound – walls to hide behind – and when no one’s around, justify our failures – to tame our wild minds – hold on to in our hardest times – windows to could-have-beens reflecting our who-we-ares – and those seeds we once spilled in our garden and proudly watched to grow into trees now surround us as our furniture – first thing to burn down when this room catches fire | trading our time for comfort – try to define – out of control – i know that you tried to be everyone’s friend – but it’s always us and always them | and what’s once been divided will never turn into one – i can’t explain anger since i question our love – numbers can’t describe what hides behind your precious mind and what i search for the most is silence with my head laid high in the clouds – watch this mind fall appart from above | and when i’m gone too far, i hope someone’ll someday come here to live – wherever I’ll go, white plaster will remind me from under my nails – if these walls could talk I am sure they’d tell you everything – they watched me rise and watched me crawling down on my knees, begging them for sympathy – they’re just as white as me | we are ashamed of our naked skin under this white blanket of sanity – before we lay our heads down into another fever dream – and disappear completely from each other’s perspective – and last flashes of light astray in a weary blink – let me ask you for one last thing: could you paint the skies on my skin? – before i let this skin swallow me | and i’ll weightlessly shine in applause with the sun – with clouds i’ll shape what you wished for all that time – i’ll be there where the wind blows – i’ll make the dirt dance – all for the sake of your eyes – this sandcastle’s my home – here I lay myself down every night – if you reach through the walls, our hands will meet at the other side
