Lyrics

[Verse 1] And there were future reflections On the face and the hands On a green-colored island On a primitive man It was the future reflecting It felt familiar but new A street was missing a building The kids had something to do [Chorus 1] There was a feeling the spirit was leaving Red like a marker So my tribe, with my knife Cut the heart from a lonely life [Verse 2] I saw patterns on floorboards Deep in the dust was a leader Someone was walking on floorboards Turning from oak into cedar He can assess the situation I wrapped a string around my finger Into the forest with the young ones I don't expect to be a winner [Chorus 2] But as long as you feel it, I'm a believer My heart is phosphor Sea rolls and death tolls Break the surface, don't break my bones Off of the trail and off of your hands and Onto a new plan Is the cost to stay lost Forever in an empty skin, pale and thin? [Bridge] If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell But pieces come together for some reason, just as well Their guns couldn't see us, there's a sea outside my door And one day I'll appreciate the rush of blood and the washed-out beat of the shore [Outro] And remember what it felt like To be alone Sitting in the sunlight All alone
