Can you remember?
Before the walls went up
In hidden green towers and blossoming flowers
Before the quicksand stuck
Can you still picture?
The valleys stretching so wide
The mountains all raised, up into space
Before they got lost to the tide
Before memory was your only guiding light
Before you were trapped, in a rut, on the tracks
Could you cut through your pride and ever get it back, ever get it back
So exhausted
Lay down, at least for a while
I lost it
Long back, out in the wild
Can you still hear?
When every note sounded new
When magic was there, in the waves, in the air
Something untouchable too
Can you remember?
When there was something worth searching for
Never quite found it, raced all around it
But just ended up just getting bored
Before the cold seeped in through your coat
The wind whipped you withered and dry
Before all the thoughts pressed in from all sides
Could you cut through them all and destroy all your pride, destroy all your pride
So exhausted
Lay down, at least for a while
I lost it
Long back, out in the wild
Can’t get you out of my mind
Tips of your toes, back of your spine
Oh, my eyes are spinning pictures,
Spinning pictures of what they want me to see
So exhausted…
I’ve run out of luck, I fuck everything up…
