lyrics

Staring at the sun when the moon is low
and clouds grow blue from the sorrow
Watching the sky as a sunset falls
Pouring its life in the ocean
I don’t know if you see the shapes that I do

Listen to the sigh of a cracking leaf
As wind retreats in the sunset
Whisper to the ghost of a fallen tree
Lying dead on the floor with the mushrooms
I don't know if you speak the language I do

But I know what's wrong so I can't stay very long
Every breath is wasted on this heart

Sleeping with the moon as an ember chills
Tumbling smoke when the wind blows
Dancing in the leaves as they kiss the ground
in the cold wet earth where the worms go
I don't know if you feel the changes I do

But I know what's wrong so I can't stay very long
Every breath is wasted on this heart oh my heart

Watch a pale man with leather hands
Seek soul in the eyes of a liar
Burning the sky with salty fumes
Pouring hot glue in the ocean
I don't know if you hate the same things I do

But I know what's wrong so I can't stay very long
Every breath is wasted on the soul of man
