Song Lyrics

Oh, the ground underneath my feet was cold
I wasn't looking for you

It was up ahead
An island like a silo in the emptiness
A quiet majesty in all its nothingness
Sipping on the sweet to taste the bitterness
Had it flown too fast?
The ringing in my ears to say that nothing lasts
The world is sick and tired of these apologists
Oh, I'll be honest then

Oh, the ground underneath my feet was cold, I wasn't looking for you
Give me less than comfortable 'cause I'm not looking at you
But I was always ready but unready for what this might do
But I was always ready but unready for what this might do

It took me further than I thought I'd go
I was listening to a voice I know
Said take me down another way
Going on and on and then you're feeling like you're nothing
Wanna hold it in your hand but it is always on your shoulder, I know
You're nowhere I have been

Oh, the ground underneath my feet was cold, I wasn't looking for you
Give me less than comfortable 'cause I'm not looking at you
But I was always ready but unready for what this might do
But I was always ready but unready for what this might do

You'll plan a hopeless escape
And like a head you will ache
Don't say you wanna settle down

Oh, the ground underneath my feet was cold, I wasn't looking for you
Give me less than comfortable 'cause I'm not looking at you
But I was always ready but unready for what this might do
But I was always ready but unready for what this might do
