lyrics

When we were young we thought the mountains and the rivers were designed by God to give us satisfaction.
A sinking feeling from the sculptures and the paintings caused us to feel an intimate abstraction.
We felt that swirling rain upon our hands, upon our face, spinning down the road just like a wheel.
And in that bitter chill engulfing mind an body we knew that it was productive just to feel,
What we felt.

I never.
I’d never
Although they’ll take all of your bones away,
Before they burn you to the ground.
Despite your fears and reservations,
We’ll ignite the tales of others lacking any sight.
It’s a calming glow that coats the sea at night.

I never will get older.
I will never age a day.
I’m twenty three already.
You’re twenty three already.
But what have you done?

Now that we’re older we can still believe the mountains were designed by God to give us satisfaction.
The pieces of the puzzle split apart and merge together forming a more relevant abstraction.
I still love that swirling rain, upon my hands, upon my face, rolling down the road just like a wheel.
And in that bitter chill engulfing mind and body I knew that it was productive,
Though potentially destructive,
I only mean to be constructive,
And to feel.
