[00:00.01] The Tallest Man On Earth - Bright Lanterns
[00:01.89] .
[00:15.73] We have clear blue waking skies and the morning after,
[00:23.35] And memories of gold on the run, flying around,
[00:30.16] Was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty,
[00:37.73] A vision of a mountain you said, so where did it go?
[00:43.10] .
[00:45.47] It was light and I held it like a child to be saved
[00:52.67] From the fires and from the falling down satellites
[00:57.98] But still wondering
[01:00.04] .
[01:00.73] "Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain
[01:07.79] Though you've seen the shadow 'tween the city and what is mine,
[01:13.98] And fallen kids all rising mad among their lost believers
[01:21.04] Suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles,
[01:29.29] It's only what these kids will haul around."
[01:35.67] .
[01:45.90] Well there's a lot of selling land for hungry feet of answers,
[01:53.52] And medicine for balance and things, like seeing your ghosts
[01:59.96] So thank God we're bright, said the lantern's brother,
[02:07.77] Cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see
[02:12.71] .
[02:15.46] It was day and I stood there once again climbing equipped
[02:22.71] When I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering
[02:31.21] But he said
[02:32.15] .
[02:32.46] "Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger
[02:39.27] Though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights,
[02:45.71] I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages,
[02:53.90] Always believing there's a canyon for every blind,
[03:00.84] It's only what these kids will haul around."
