lyrics

From a glacier up above
The water trickles downward
And nurses tiny flowers on the hills
They drink its cold
For a moment they unfurl
and stretch their leaves
But soon enough they wither and their petals
Float downstream

(chorus)
On weary nights
And tired days
We wander onward without maps
And we swim in sand
and we drown in clay
And eat our fill of rubble
And we write to you
On tattered sheets
With ink that fades on contact
And we wait alone
So patiently
For you to respond to our silence

All the miracles we see
Blind us with banality
All the whispered prayers we sweep from under tables
Spin like dust motes in the sun
And the wishes made with tight shut eyes
Now gone replaced with sleep
While up above the planets grind
Like the teeth inside my head

(talking)
Come on in I've almost finished the border
Pieces come
Easy go
You can see I like puzzles
Do you like puzzles?
I like answers
Have a seat we can kill time forever

(chorus)
On weary nights
And tired days
We wander onward without maps
And we swim in sand
and we drown in clay
And eat our fill of rubble
And we write to you
On tattered sheets
With ink that fades on contact
And we wait alone
So patiently
For you to respond to our silence
