lyrics

The Drop

Lies have spilled all along the doorway
Outside the temple
Anger fueled by a false perception
Expose the bloodshed

Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
Murder on the path to God
Dividing us

Pure intention
The light reflects the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Drilling into sand

Righteous deed lost in self awareness
Self righteous stranger
Lost indeed from the path to water
Their fires burn us

Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
He who’s lost will save your soul
Defending us

Pure intention
The light will bend the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Crawling in the sand

Lost between the dark
And the first light of coming dawn
We suffer through empty pages
Once filled with the glowing art of love
We follow
Will we rise again?
Or watch our beauty fade with the time?
In sorrow
Empty praises end with empty words
That follow God

Arrest this man
For crimes against the world at large
Here’s evidence
I’ve taken off my clothes
Naked to the world
And I will not give in to this injustice

I'm taking a chance to find my own way
I’ll need some assistance in finding you again
And I’ll be here and you’ll see I’m not the same (I'm not to blame)
I’m not afraid

Eyes try to see
Blinded by a wind I just can’t feel
As the world calls to me
When love will split the seed and find relief
Now

Tears wander free
Always longing for the sea
Falling through the air
Longing for feathered wings

Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
Murder on the path to God
And we look on

Pure intention
The light reflects the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Buried in the sand

Buried deep in dream
The path to water shall be seen
Levitating us
Addicted to this
Addicted to the tears
As we cry
