lyrics

When I was alone
I saw two skies
Smelt like myself
And forgot the time
With the wind making circles
That we don’t see
Until it meets up
With a pile of dead leaves

I was a hiker
Around lake and the ridge
I wanted to be your
River and bridge
But now city and sirens
Walls closer in
I wanna be your
Returning friend

Brilliant sunlight
Birds fly above
Tracing their movements
While making my own
Then, almost falling
From such a height
Body Electric
Made up of light

I stared at the moon
long enough
To see it bleeding
Colour and lust
But framed like a picture
It makes no sense
You have to step out
From behind the lens
