Coming all around us
In the blue light of the morning
The whole entire world was in your eyes
Felt so powerless and simple
The rain was on the window
Sliding down and dripping all inside
So I walked down by the water
Saw the pulsing mass was shining
Listened to the things out in the night
Threw my dollars on the fire
Crawled out through the wire
Hoping we'd eventually collide
"Hold my head to the skin", I said
When my heart wasn't always there
As you turn down the light in the long black night
Peel back the moon, beware
Through the darkness I kept moving
Down the streets and through the alleys
Hiding in the doorways from the cold
And everything was pretty
Stealing through the city
Always somewhere better left to go
So I climbed up on the mountain
And the clouds were all around me
I stumbled on, I could not see the light
Always running from the slaughter
Trembling through the water
Trying to find away back down inside
"Hold my head to the skin", I said
When my heart wasn't always there
As you turn down the light in the long black night
Peel back the moon, beware
In the shadows I was walking
Everything just seemed to fade away
I was living in a movie
You never even knew me
The people looked right through the city
