lyrics

I was walking on the water
Rolling ghosts run past machinery
Silver apples chewed to metal cores
So I crumble, pillar of ashen faces unnamed

My flight runs risk
You don't exist
Not to blow my cover
One's word over another’s world

Spiral staircase, born to kill I might
Dodge the draft and run in with the innocents
Kings have marched and dust to dust they came
Punctured helmet look into her eyes and die

I saw you in the sky
Machine gun surprise
Yet I strayed, we know the road is long
Roll out my rug and make an earnest prayer to God in vain

Bone men I bless
Roman rockets
Satellites fly
Evil men define their time

As I’m falling underwater
I can hear them wailing a wall of hate
Storied statues fall beneath their feet
Slowly dying in a state of shock
Conflagration covers all the walls contained
In the building, the freaks will disagree
But this is not about a girl
These are my windows on the world
