[00:14.10]Oh let me in
[00:16.99]The air out here is thick
[00:19.42]And I've grown thin
[00:22.34]Been choking on the wind
[00:27.48]Retching through my skin
[00:30.11]Coughing up love that tastes like spring
[00:34.83]Green and starved of oxygen
[00:40.28]
[00:43.98]But I could be the light
[00:49.85]Blaze my own damn trail and you'll follow
[00:55.59]To a cruel, hard heartland
[01:00.02]I'm a cruel, hard heartland
[01:05.90]
[01:17.78]Grey charcoal blue
[01:20.73]Stretched across the sky
[01:23.44]This lonely moon
[01:26.22]Leaves footprints in my shoes
[01:30.26]Wonders through my bed
[01:33.35]Strokes my paper face and combs my head
[01:37.55]Speaking silent words with hands instead
[01:45.52]She could be the light
[01:52.34]Help me base a trail and they'll follow
[01:58.05]To a cruel, hard heartland
[02:02.58]I'm a cruel, hard heartland
[02:08.13]I'm a cruel, hard heartland
[02:15.28]To the east I raise my cup
[02:20.50]Rise at dawn and wake my sluggish heart
[02:27.01]Beat life again
[02:30.00]I am ready now, wasn't ready then
[02:39.85]
[02:43.06]I plunged into the lake to hide my tears
[02:47.95]Conceal my salty fears
[02:51.66]Heaving on the grass
[02:54.77]Gasping at the air, the sky went dark
[02:59.33]The fire broke apart
[03:02.54]We slept at last
[03:07.46]
[03:07.71]When the embers die
[03:13.40]They'll not take your hand and lead you there
[03:19.10]To a cruel, hard heartland
[03:23.43]I'm a cruel, hard heartland
[03:28.10]
