Lyrics

[00:43.26] Stick around please
[00:44.55]
[00:46.23] Wait out through the fall
[00:48.57]
[00:49.60] I'm not right in the howling wind
[00:53.69]
[00:56.63] An end tide around me
[00:59.00]
[01:00.09] Has stayed in
[01:01.43]
[01:08.26] The dream has not paid
[01:10.00]
[01:10.81] I fall out of it falling weight
[01:15.08]
[01:18.77] The faded ideals are gathering
[01:23.05]
[01:26.08] In a walkabout tale
[01:28.30]
[01:29.44] In a digging into dirt
[01:31.50]
[01:33.01] I failed and returned
[01:35.05]
[01:36.49] Flying through a fog
[01:38.53]
[01:40.04] Peering through the cracks
[01:42.03]
[01:42.94] For the moon
[01:44.35]
[01:49.96] Or the fire of the sun
[01:52.54]
[01:54.23] In reaching I've become a figurine
[01:58.20]
[02:04.91] A calm around me
[02:06.76]
[02:07.49] Stray ashes that fall
[02:09.81]
[02:10.97] In low light through the backwoods
[02:13.92]
[02:15.52] And fatal ideas that gather
[02:19.29]
[02:22.71] In the corners while I wait
[02:24.57]
[02:25.24] For the limited return of feeling
[02:31.24]
[02:32.38] It ain't worth the hold out for it
[02:35.31] Once you feel like you've become unreal
[02:39.48]
[02:46.41] And collide which is what
[02:48.84]
[02:49.70] I've strayed out through the fog
[02:52.19]
[02:53.29] But I can't feel the sun or the wind
[02:57.95]
[03:00.51] So come out with it once
[03:02.69]
[03:03.66] In a straight action
[03:05.75]
[03:06.73] Crawl through my window
[03:08.51]
[03:10.21] With your heart tied to a stick
[03:12.24]
[03:14.63] Come out with it once
[03:16.50]
[03:18.04] I'm afraid I can't afford to wait
[03:23.53]
