You pushed my head under the water
I lost my breath, but the skyline called my name
The wilds the wilds the wilds they pull you in
These miles weâve walked and miles we talked have been
The first time I am not alone in my head
By itself, oneself, canât find where it began
The dust youâll find beneath my feet
Reminds me of the simpler things
When it was only you and me
But now I see, now I see
So we all fall asleep
So we laugh and play
So we drink and eat
So we count our time
So we know our keep
But it floats away,
Nothing seems to stay these days
Fragile and weak
Itâs been years and now
I get a moment to speak
And all I think about
Is what to say
When youâre face to face with nothing
And nothing will escape your lips
The clouds, the clouds, the clouds
They take their shape
We dream that in their billows
Are answers to this place
You ask me to surrender
Youâre sure itâs what Iâll take
We broke our bread together
And cursed it at the gates
Iâm a son of a father
My motherâs oldest one
You make your trade with your brothers
Sister youâre not the only one
Head to toe Iâm drowning
I told you not to speak
Frail and fragile weak dim
The light down on the street.
But the light still lingers
In my eyes
Iâm a son of a father
My motherâs oldest one
You make your trade with your brothers
Sister youâre not the only one
