bring my lost senses up to speed
let the roar of the exits
wash over me
or i stop just to feel the weight
yeah i stop
just to fill a space
and there’s a ghost i keep passing by
he’s like a long distance call
stalled in the sky
i recognize his face
it was drawn
then it was erased
oh, tunnels to villages
the wounded wend their way
home
under the avalanches
oh landslide
block my way
pin my shadows in
starless places
when i leaned towards the sea
and the gale cradled me
the last ceiling pulled back and faded
(the name of the world
became my own)
oh, tunnels to villages
the guilty hiding their
gold
under the avalanches
oh, i’m ready for something
(footprints have formed again
between me and my
hit and run twin)
and on the outskirts i float
waiting for night to close in
