Lyrics

You fell through the leaves
Betrayed by their cover
Bare branch gave no shade
The ground swelled under your dirty knees
Made fools of us all
Caught in the why
Lost in the how
Mired in the truth of burdens acquired
You closed your eyes
In soft surrender.

Clouds full of flames
Vacant of mercies
A verse for every tragedy
The pious remains of the fortunetellers
Forlorn dirges sang
Damned are the shamed
The hollowed remains
Of empty words lost on the vane
They close their eyes
No sleep the pretenders

La da da da da
La da da da da
La da da dum
La da da dum
La da da dum
La da da dum dum dum

When the sky empties
And smolder dies
The blooms of the fireweed stretch tall
And cover us all
La da da da da We’ll walk through the fields
La da da da da And, shed our own skin
La da da da da We’ll walk through the fields
La da da da da New light on our own skin

It’s only me that walks the edge
My head is in the stars again
A lost satellite in flight
Alone and I am fine. La da da da da, la da da da da
