lyrics

I fell asleep for a long while.
Threw a tomahawk from the pile,
broke a plate beside her window.
Heard the noise and turned around.
Then the wall opened up.
the wall opened up.
I was there in the grass,
laying amidst broken glass,
when the sundial's shadow cast
over my face.
How long has it been.
The small knife slid across the floor and became a dialogue between us.
It was the time breaking us to pieces, creating the rust.
If only I could reach within you,
your shallow cold dim world.
Lift the sun and make it rise,
warm your hands for me to hold.
Then the wall opened up,
the wall opened up.
I was being dragged to a thousand places,
swore I recognised all their faces,
I couldn't understand their sounds,
so I followed them underground.
How long has it been
Every day could be a year,
no more dial to cut our ties.
I would carry you till the end and we would never die.
if you're still breathing I hope you hear my voice,
they may bury us in the deep, but at least we had a voice.
