Song Lyrics

Cutting off the light
Like I would an engine Walking through the night Like I've gone missing Missing from the place I live Missing from my brain I guess
Looking for some good
In another's hand
Looking for a life I could understand There's violence in the ways I left Violence in the way again
Even then
You come in nightly
Even in a dream I'd spun
Even in the summer sun
I could not run
Glistening or faded
I'm sitting where it all began
I gave up on a promised land
But you were my friend
Aging now I feel it
It's always slipping through my hands It wasn't what I thought back then When beautiful birds were flying Beautiful birds were flying
Circles in the sky
I'm finding
My way with them
Looking at the sky
For an opening
Looking for some life
On an empty screen
There's violence in the ways I live Violence on my mind
Trace it
So I'm turning on the light When I let you in
I open up my mind
With a new question
Now how could you possibly be Now what could you possibly need
Nothing
Now I face it
There's nothing on the other side I want to live inside your life With violence on my only mind When beautiful birds were flying
Beautiful birds were flying Circles in the sky
I'm finding
My way with them
