lyrics

Shadows that fly in the night bathed in religious light
Colored feathers of a giant bird scattered on the ground where the crime occurred
If someone disappears you know that where they go is worse than where they were or they would let you know
Colored feathers blonde brunette End of the world weather black and red
The dying the wounded and the walking dead
Naked as psalm with shiny skin to hell and gone on and off again
Wake me up and turn the tide gone past forever in the blink of an eye
Maybe I’ll never get out of bed this pillow’s not coming off my head
Spokes of light across the wheeling sky left to right like the sky’s on fire
By degrees we reach the sea
I need a Beggar’s Law the one we got was never really meant for me
Systems will all break down giant bird’s dreaming of the underground
A lonely ego lost in space locked inside a rusty cage
A burned out bus a war torn state in a galaxy that can’t be far enough away
I was time traveling north You were time traveling south
A mirror in a mirror with a mirror in it’s mouth
Passing though (it doesn’t) matter off falls the rust up goes the hammer
Forgetting place where we feel no pain pull the bolt and slide the chain
One by one my fears are gone Science says there’s nothing wrong with me
I need a Beggar’s Law the one we got was never really meant for me
I don’t know what it means
Systems will all break down giant bird’s dreaming of the underground
Take me to your holy man
I want to destroy everything I don’t understand Wax and leather wind and foam
I never knew there was a voice in my head until it was gone
I need a Beggar’s Law the one we got was never really meant for me
Systems will all break down giant bird’s dreaming of the underground….
