lyrics

In a mountain of sleep
You pretend what you keep
Is the end of a rope you can pull
From the fields to the moon
It's a long way away
When the truth hits the wall
You can slip through the cracks
Like a snake in grass

But we can't live
Like a song
We can't live like the river

When the way isn't clear
Like a mind without fear
We begin
To expand like the sun
Icy rain on my tounge
It's a numbing release
If the prisoner rots
Will the floor in the forest remain
Unclean

But we can't live
Like a song
We can't live like the river

Show me a hollow tree
Fill it with love
And bury the sea
Sink the remaining light
By keeping the burning bright

But we can't live
Like a song
We can't live like the river
