lyrics

All the years are falling from us, light that meets a blacker sky.
Liquid metal through my fingers. Whispers from the mouth of night.
And I can hear its rhythm in my dream. I know
that all I get to be is in between, I know
that all these years must walk this Earth alone.

We were not the only answer, we were not the wishing well.
Fair our lungs and free of cancer, free of what the world could sell.
And I can hear them calling in my dream. I know
that all there is could fit inside a gleam. I know
that all we ever were were magic bones.

Like the stone turned black from wanting, locked up in the highest cell,
carried by this dream of living. Trapped inside of something else.
And I can hear it crying in my dream. I know
that all I get to be is in between. I know
that all I get to be is in between. I know
that all there is could fit inside a gleam. I know.
