Yes, we've been searching
and wondering what we might find
We've all been hoping
in safety that we might hide
Oh half you betray me, and enslave me in your eyes
I'll weave it above you and I'll weave it in the sky
In the sky
As the story unfolds
(I can tell by your expression that your pain was the same as mine)
As the tales retold
(As a constant reminder of what we must find)
Yes, we've been searching
and wondering what we might find
We've all been hoping
in safety that we might hide
Oh half you betray me, and enslave me in your eyes
I'll weave it above you and I'll weave it in the sky
In the sky
It started here when man were stuck together, faced apart but never far.
We had four legs and four hands, one mind but twice as much heart.
We beasts were powerful and together we weren't fearful of the stars.
Some were two men fixed together, named the children of the sun
Some were both women, formed from earth but rolled into one
The final pair were sons and daughters, fallen birth right of the moon.
The creatures planned scale the heights of heaven and set upon the gods.
Fearing we might usurp them, these creators shouted "Lets kill them all"
But Lord of Lightning said, "We can double our prays if we split them all…
In half, from their pairs. The sky was full of thunder as bolts were raining from the air.
Let division strike you lengthways, come between you and split you through your chest.
We humans were distressed.
We were divided and longing all the rest
Regretful but compassionate, they set to put the world to rights
They gave us all a gift, that we, in closeness all could find.
That in these brief moments, we can return together
To again become one, if only for a while.
If only for a while.
Yes, we've been searching
and wondering alone
We've been hoping
We'll become whole
I'll be searching, all of my days.
I don't want a reflection of anyone but you
But I can tell by your expression
that your pain was the same as mine
As a constant reminder of what
we
must
find
Yes, we've been searching
and wondering alone
We've been hoping
that we'll become whole.
I don't want a reflection of anyone but you

You've learned how to talk and you've learned how to walk
But you never learned quite how to swim
If the walls too tall or you've dropped to fall,
Either sucking at the tit or brimming at the edge of the rim
You seem so, You seem so alone
You seem so, You seem so alone
If you're hanging around, you can't make a sound
You're spilling out the front of my teeth
Relieve yourself, relieve yourself
You don't have to
Be yourself, be yourself
You can be me.
(You said we'd never call, You said we'd never call)
Forgot about the bridge we built
The hours I spent to make it tilt
What a mess
Cuz they all stand there eyes ablazing
While I try to bring the rain in.
Believe myself
Believe myself
Why'd I want to be myself
Be myself
I can be you
(Our old bodies haven't given up, Our old bodies haven't given up)
Forgot about the bridge we built
The hours I spent to make it tilt
What a mess
Cuz they all stand there eyes ablazing
While I try to bring the rain in.

I'll go fish by the surface waters
While you stay home with our sons and daughters
Just promise to be home, when I get home late
I'm not the son my father bred
Yeah
We're all just dust, We're all dust just
We're all just bags of skin with our thoughts and our hearts but
Fragile as machines we miss the best parts
We're in parts
Cuz we've lost our heads
To let them rest
I've been slaughtering the shepherd because I'm flockless again
Just because we love doesn't mean we're men.
And I'll extradite my demons if it means I can stay.
Yeah
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me down
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me down
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me down
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me down
(Follow me, follow, me,)
Follow me, follow me down
(Follow me, follow, me,)
Follow me, follow me down
(Follow me, follow, me,)
Follow me, follow me down
(Follow me, follow, me,)
Follow me, follow me down
(Repeatat last chorus)

I'm an atheist and I'm reading the bible
Everyone wants to share a bed with god
Its taste like love blinds you to its flaws but he's
Probably sick of
Sleeping around
Thank god we didn't do it again
Cuz we've pressed our suits and tied up our heads
Theres a 40 year noose around our necks
Replacing our limbs and we're missing our hymns
We're forgetting ourselves as we're told how to sing
Even the trees have spoken more than once
We can buy all we want
Cuz we've got all we need
The compulsion that drives is taken over with greed
We're all poison we're trying to sweat
(We're trying to sweat)
I'm an atheist and I'm reading the bible
Everyone wants to share a bed with god
Its taste like love blinds you to its flaws but he's
Probably sick of
Sleeping around
(Tear us apart)
(Tear us apart)
We're all going somewhere, its not down its up. To the sky back home, If we're allowed
(Tear us apart)
Do you think that they'd let me in too
(Tear us apart)
I'm an atheist and I'm reading the bible
Everyone wants to share a bed with god
Its taste like love blinds you to its flaws but he's
Probably sick of
Sleeping around

Yes I've got dreams
Ofcourse I've got dreams
I put them in a box away, and bring them out sometimes to look in
Confusing me with doors fading to walls, and children staring through
I ask "Are these dreams really mine?"
Like dreamers do.
Carry me in blankets and carry me in coats to the door where you're waiting not alone half clothed in my
memory at night. I try to fight away ghosts.
With you dressed in wine and a door dressed in fire
What are we doing here, you started preaching the choir
In my memory at night
I try to find a way home
Are we floating away?
Wolf you've been crying so long
Placed half asleep on a chair
"Just wait here son for a moment. I swear."
Because I'm unaware of the world or the sheets around my head
"What are these letters? What are these letters?" She screamed to me
"What are these letters? Lets start a fire in your dreams and in your head."
Carry me in safety and carry me in cloaks
For the safety in your words. Keep me warm.
You won't see or find, because we've lost our way to hide.
You've got my waiting on my floor, on my knees to the side
I've been lying low, been crying so long
A shelter from rain for two
Know that we're lost but we're trying to
We're trying to cope
We're trying to cope
My voice lost like syrens on opaque crashing waves
A faint flashing beacon engulfed by the rain
You're with baskets and hoods
And bright crimson coats
Too many dear Wolf
You hold me so, You don't let it be. Let it be more. Let it be more.
(Interogate and question. You know I've done wrong.
What I cant say in words I am singing in song cuz I'm scared one day I'll call out and no one will come.
Oh dear wolf you've been crying.)
You hold me so, You don't let it be. Let it be more. Let it be more.
(Interrogate and question. You know I've done wrong.
What I cant say in words I am singing in song cuz I'm scared one day I'll call out and no one will come.
Oh dear wolf you've been crying.)
Crying so
Crying so long
Crying so long
(Crying so long)
Interrogate and question.
You know I've done wrong.
What I cant say in words I am singing in song
cuz I'm scared one day I'll call out and no one will come.
Oh dear wolf you've been crying.
