Track Insight / Lyrics
Old oil lamps and salty air,
Heavy coats that we both wear.
White foam crashing on the stone,
Two lost souls who drift alone.
Steel gears grind a heavy sound,
Lifting us off frozen ground.
Up we go to where it glows,
Where the hidden river flows.
Shatter the glass of the sky,
Watch all the paper birds fly.
Turn the brass wheel on the wall,
Catch every star as they fall.
Copper pipes and velvet red,
Strange new maps inside my head.
Golden ink on parchment white,
Burning through the velvet night.
Steel gears grind a heavy sound,
Lifting us off frozen ground.
Up we go to where it glows,
Where the hidden river flows.
Shatter the glass of the sky,
Watch all the paper birds fly.
Turn the brass wheel on the wall,
Catch every star as they fall.
You hold a compass in your hand,
Searching for a promised land.
I keep the beacon burning bright,
Guiding you through liquid light.
Break the frame and tear the page,
Step outside this gilded cage.
One wrong turn and we might slide,
Nowhere left for us to hide.
Shatter the glass of the sky,
Watch all the paper birds fly.
Turn the brass wheel on the wall,
Catch every star as they fall.
Salt and rust upon the beam,
More than just a waking scheme.
Hold the line and keep the pace,
Looking at your tired face.
Shatter the glass of the sky,
Watch all the paper birds fly.
Turn the brass wheel on the wall,
Catch every star as they fall.
Turn the key, lock the door.
We don't live here anymore.
