Track 3 from In The Hollow
Experimental acoustic for me.
Lyrics
In the spotlight we were angels crossing
One sanctuary to the next
Light pillars following
Ether halos around our heads
To where the statues are always smiling
Animals give us meals free of charge
Lights are never turned off
They help ward off the dark
And the church bells are ringing verses
Lyric-less, the words are in our minds
Where we all tried to ignore them
But stopped to listen sometimes
And they said
You may see what you want to see
You may see what you want to see
What is this gray appearing
Reaching through the walls and
Draining us of our innocence
Making us question who we are
When the stars are losing brightness
Statues seem fake and insecure
These lights illuminate us
But hide the rest of the world
And I saw what I wanted to see
I saw what I wanted to see
And the sunlight returned over the mountains
Cast itself lightly on the clay ground
With grass parting
Leaving a pathway
And I don't know if it's real, but I don't really care anymore
These old fields are endless in their length
And I've walked miles through them
To end up in the same place every time
When my eyes are all but faded
With what will I fill them 'til they're gone
So I walked on that familiar road
And old friends appeared there to welcome me home
Just don't remind me that what I see isn't real
I don't want to know
