lyrics

In the future we’ve made nobody gets caught
Jumping over turnstiles
Busting off the locks

Never hears an answer
To the signals and calls
Forever races backwards
Like paintings on the cave walls

It’s hard enough to manage
The blind truth from this vantage point
With nothing to distract us
From those ugly empty choices

I remember seeing my smile reflected on the water
All the hope then didn’t matter
It just kept getting hotter

What I’d give to slide down the dunes
What I’d give to be taken in the view
All I need is a lie to cling on to
That someday I’m gonna live on the wind like you

Minutes pass through burning matches
The deadlines that you miss don’t matter
Nobody knows their position
No feeding frenzy, no competition

Each trickle now can feed a city
The sunsets lately keep getting prettier
No one’s got use for money
When the paint drips off the houses like honey

I remember every bloody holiday, each early grave
The only thing that never gets lost are the faces that you cannot shake

What i’d give to slide down the dunes
What I’d give to be taken in the view
All I need is a lie to cling on to
That someday I’m gonna live on the wind like you

The moments that I can’t remember were never really mine
Trying to undo this
Slow, beautiful crime
