lyrics

Try
To keep your eyes
On the horizon
Not cast down at your feet
Like sentences you can’t complete
Walking through the street
Like you can’t hear me
Lost
Inside yourself
I’d like to help
But don’t come near me

Wired
To the past
What a laugh
Your ears are burning
Tied to the mast
This too shall pass
And no returning

The time will come
When days will run
Together one by one
And all their colors fade
Like they were left out in the sun

Try
To keep your eyes
On the horizon
Not cast off to the side
Steering far and wide
You’re drifting in the tide
Like you can’t see me
You’re lost inside yourself
Straight down the well
And nowhere near me

The time will come
When days will run
Together one by one
And all their colors fade
Like they were left out in the sun

Try to keep your eyes
On the horizon
