Wonderless 04:28
I was waiting at our favorite place, counting stars at the end of the day I waited but you never came, maybe it was all a dream You were never here I chased the fires of my father's dreams, Burning balls of gasoline Looking for love looking for light, Nothing but the cold dark night I try to reconcile Can’t get you out of my mind I can’t, can’t get you out, out of my thoughts I want to go back to what it was Can’t get you out of my mind I can’t, can’t get you out, out of my thoughts I want to go back to what it was Cling tight to what you don’t know about, Run fast from every shadow of a doubt Build the ramparts and brace the siege, don’t stop till I’m on my knees and you sound the battle cry Wonderless you’re so self assured, about the outcomes of the world Wonderless no mystery, only the right to believe But I sound the battle cry Can’t get you out of my mind I can’t, can’t get you out, out of my thoughts I want to go back to what it was Can’t get you out of my mind I can’t, can’t get you out, out of my thoughts I want to go back to what it was When we fear the answers we don’t ask the questions, just tell us what we know When it’s us and them then it makes things easy, the labels say it all Humility goes out the window, when grace is at a loss So they patronize you, assume compliance, your back against a wall Can’t get you out of my mind I can’t, can’t get you out, out of my thoughts I want to go back to what it was Can’t get you out of my mind I can’t, can’t get you out, out of my thoughts I want to go back to what it was You’re so Wonderless, don’t want to be so, wonderless When you tell me how it is, I say it’s wonderful

Peel My skin back, Call me by a new name See my bones and tell me how I'm made If l am fully only solely what I’m made to be If I am made of holy bones and begging to be free Peel my skin back and promise me you won't laugh See my insides try to keep themselves back If I am swimming in the rivers of my history If I am, can you meet me can you meet me as I sink You should know by now, figured it out to see somehow You should know by now, I don't want to teach you how to love me right Peel your skin back and watch me as I dive deep dry the river find the soil beneath Hold my hand, open thirsty earth is ready to be green Hold my hand, slow and growing into who I’m made to be You should know by now, figured it out to see somehow You should know by now, I don't want to teach you how to love me right You should know by now, figured it out to see somehow You should know by now, I don't want to teach you how to love me right You should know by now, figured it out to see somehow You should know by now, I don't want to teach you how to love me right

Hey you, man on the moon The night sky is slipping slowly out of reach Hey you child in the clouds The north wind is blowing oh so violently Wake up, walk out; see the city now from the clouds My demons are my own Her veins are sick with the suburbs and with her sounds Welcome to the rest of the world As we lay in the arms of our lovers and pray, and pray Beg forgiveness from our sons and daughters, they wait they wait She cried, wide eyed Watching the dreams unfold as my world turned around Cold my clockwork unwinds Dropping the pieces of my insides on to the ground Turn on turn up, wind the gears to crawl Move on like you were made to Dance now with the man on the moon, take a look at the stars Welcome to the rest of the world As we lay in the arms of our lovers and pray, and pray Beg forgiveness from our sons and daughters, they wait they wait We can build up a hope with our brothers we’ll make, we’ll make it Yeah, yeah, yeah What will you do now my friend? Will we be free? What will you do now my friend? Oh oh... What will you do now my friend? Will we be free? What will you do now my friend? Oh oh… Cold my clockwork unwinds Cold my clockwork unwinds As we lay in the arms of our lovers and pray, and pray Beg forgiveness from our sons and daughters, they wait they wait We can build up a hope with our brothers we’ll make, we’ll make it Yeah, yeah, yeah As we lay in the arms of our lovers and pray, and pray Beg forgiveness from our sons and daughters, they wait they wait We can build up a hope with our brothers we’ll make, we’ll make it Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah

We describe the stars We dance with the heavens We draw upon the ages We build our, we build our towers We reason with eternity we know our insides through and through We draw upon infinity We enslave our enemies through and through Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh We are flaccid like our idols We are slaves to our survival We are conquerors and warriors We are losing all our, all our battles Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost When you’re done conquering your brother When you’re done stealing from your mother Will you pray? We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost We are gods, we are lost, we are lost, we are lost

As the night falls, and I’m alone with my ghosts The stories I have been told, as my heart moves the earth We have learned to be alone but it’s begging me begging me begging me to call me home My heart is yours, we can live it right until the morning comes All we have is the moment of breath We displace the ether spilling over the earth Is it not that we are soil Begging now begging for the space that we borrow Full of breath in and facing the sun watching the history of tomorrow come I can walk in to my own and I’m Begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m not alone My heart is yours, we can live it right until the morning comes This night is ours, we can take our time, don’t have to be alone Burn the remnants of my youth If my earth can be made new Place my stories in the soil So they can grow into a place that’s always waiting for you She was the stars and my heart was the ocean We’re the kings of the future we were building I am the rain and she is the river Filling each other up, filling each other up She was the stars and my heart was the ocean We’re the kings of the future we were building I am the rain and she is the river Filling each other up, filling each other up My heart is yours, we can live it right until the morning comes This night is ours, we can take our time, don’t have to be alone As the night falls, and I’m alone with my ghosts The stories I have been told, as my heart moves the earth We have learned to be alone but it’s begging me begging me begging me to call me home All we have is this moment of breath We displace this ether spilling over the earth Is it not that we are soil and we’re Begging now begging now for the space that we borrow Full of breath in and facing the sun watching the history of tomorrow come I can walk in to my own and I’m Begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m not alone
