lyrics

you take my heart
and leave me open
to the earth
before I'm done

you take my ears
and whisper wonders
in my head
and then I'm done

simple world...


What appears to be dead,
is often most alive
the soil is a burial ground
and the corpses walk


you take my eyes
and bring me back to
what I've missed
it's been so long...

you take my hands
and wrap my fingers
around your waist, I
never knew

what they could do...


What appears to be dead,
is often most alive
the soil is a burial ground
and the corpses walk


see or hear no evil
dredgin down the drain,
I've been here since you were born
and since before the seasons came
how will you decide
which way to go?
drainin since the end of time
a millions ways a thousand whys

it's like I can't approach it
still not giving in
feeling solace, on the run
facing facts the midnight comes
bringing back the sunlit dream
the dramamine it gives me hell
I cant go back the freedom spell
has got me by the sinew now...
