lyrics

Grey over the city
Casting us in iron, heavy with the season
Awake in the fire, speaking with no reason
Washed up on the shore
Coming up for air to claim the things we care for
Ocean spray and seafoam
Loving where we come from
Amazed at our own changes
Craving to turn pages
Back or forth depending
Searching for ending or beginning

I watched myself go down, like a fighter plane
Remembered by the child who died once in the flame
We’re all someone else, living someone else’s past life
Wishing we were not
Scared that they forgot us
And the ocean washes most of it away
Except the shit you can’t let go of
And the saltwater you swallow
Begs you to remember
Moon casting us in shadow

We’re all living someone else’s past life
We are all just patterns in the night sky

And at best we’re desperate children
Set and cast in iron
Running ring around the Rosie
In the center of the city
Trying to remember
