Laughing Colors - I've Been Gone / Brother's Hand Şarkı Sözleri
I live down here,
with my sandpaper ceiling
and walls to my ear
I have, not one,
but two reasons for living,
the second's unclear
Did you ever think
trying to leave wake
Wouldn't be a strange odyssey?
Try to ride the waves of concrete.
What do we believe?
Staring at the screens,
drowning in the green
Why do we, throw away the same
things that they eat?
Sometime will the sunshine
wash over my skin,
And the world that I'm living
in bends over backwards
to keep us all occupied
I've been gone ---
I live inside,
and the blisters of solitude
swallow my hide
I have not won,
but I'm a long way from
Nothingness and that
is where I started from.
Did you ever think
trying to leave wake
Wouldn't be a strange odyssey?
Try to ride the waves of concrete.
What do we believe?
Staring at the screens,
drowning in the green
Why do we, throw away the same
things that they eat?
Sometime will the sunshine
wash over my skin,
And the world that I'm living
in bends over backwards
to keep us all occupied
I've been gone ---
Counting stars on my ceiling and building a wall
That I use to hang pictures of what I once was
And the reason I've asked you here is not what you think
It was only to hold me up so I don't fall down
And the lives that they've promised us - nothing,never
And the riddles they told us, well I don't get it
Just a hand is enough to keep us together
On the outside everything's fine, we look
Way down inside, way down again
Brother I'm wasted, Brother I can't believe I'm alive
I can't catch the wind, but I've chased it
Brother I'm here again
Carry this thought with you even when I'm not around
All your patience will give you whatever you need
And the lives we made for ourselves we deliver
And we stand cuz we've learned not to crawl
And the cold breath of lonliness makes me shiver
Cuz without us, we're nothing at all, we look…
Sometime will the sunshine
wash over my skin,
And the world that I'm living
in bends over backwards
to keep us all occupied
I've been gone ---
