lyrics

Hold my eyes
Angel of mine
Hold my light
Let it shine
Old joy, meat cow, burnout, cold ground, lullaby, cavalry, hummingbird, dead sea

Kept in the dark, A ghostly heart
A vile machine of violent green
All is as one under the sun
There’s nothing’s new to do with you

I’d reach out my hand but you’ll just let go
Cause you’re my angel in the snow
You ride into town on a horse of gold
Freezing softly in the cold

Take all control, just skin and bone
A birds eye view, master of the cue
And in the lounge where laughter sounds
You’ll have me alone inside of your home
Say it! “My life is a waiting time",
“A light that will never shine"
Talking in a shadowland

Standing outstretched in the mist
A figment begging to exist
When you find your shell it will be yours to sell
But you know it all so well

The time is grey, you’re in the hay
Out on the ship you take the slip
A rotten device that bleeds from the ice
A beautiful lie you’re rolling a fixed dice
There’s nowhere left to go
I can not feel the words
Just leave them for the birds
I’m living in the 21st century
Whoopee
Lucky me
