lyrics

Trials by fire in your nesting place
Pick apart a gaze and you'll find a new face
One with pearls without women to waste
One with a seed to make it in space

How about a candle to light the road
How about a time when my god isn't home
How about a seed from a rolling stone
How about a sin to make my way home

Wait. Who said I was going home
Who said I was going home

Misspent days are running through
Case in point, your point of view
The upturned clock is telling you
To curb the line and split in two
In dusted effervescent sands
You'll meet your match in different strands
Till someone takes you by the hand
And tells you that you've lost new land

When the pieces break below
And you run crying from the snow
And the rain won't let you go
Find the others who might know

Expand from light and make it right
The snow's too rough, the air's too tight
To live your life by candlelight
And face the stars with sharper bite

Cross the lights and shine the glance
At past remarks that mocked your stance
At rooms that held you in a trance
Of dust and dirt and hidden chance

But the rooms they burst with power
And your mindless eye devours
All incapable missed hours
Spent on cracks that wouldn't flower

Signified in distant dunes
The crossroads sting a bit too soon
To hang and ride the crescent moon
So why not sing a former tune

But it's all too much
I needed just a crutch
To fight off bones from rust
To step into the dust
To lock you in the crutch

Well I have heard it said
That train tracks never bled
That minds locked in the head
Will lock you in your bed

To crawl onto the floor
To slide into the door
To search the evening's core
To scream you wanted more

And I can't hear you through
Your panoramic view
Impossibility
Split dichotomy

And I once heard you say
We're all made of moss and clay
Heavy before noon
But we'll be grounded soon

When the pieces break below
And you run crying from the snow
Then the Earth will shed you this time once again (once again)

When your mindless eye devours
All incapable missed hours
Were you just racing against time inside your head

And when (You must) misspent days were running you (Be lost)
What else were you gonna do (But at)
But live the life that you once knew (What cost?)

When the (You must) upturned clock was failing to (Be lost)
Instruct you on how to move (But at)
What else were you gonna do (What cost?)

Cry for freedom
Cry for freedom
Across the desert streets you cry for freedom

Cry for freedom
Cry for freedom
Across the desert streets you cry for freedom

And when (You must) misspent days were running you (Be lost)
What else were you gonna do (But at)
But live the life that you once knew (What cost?)

When the (You must) upturned clock was failing to (Be lost)
Instruct you on how to move (But at)
What else were you gonna do (What cost?)

Cry for freedom
Cry for freedom
Across the desert streets you cry for freedom

Cry for freedom
Cry for freedom
Across the desert streets you cry for freedom
