lyrics

The past is a widow with a silver mane
She cries out your window for a dying day
You have no fear inside you wear only your pain
You greet your transgressions with a smile on your face

Men make war and they taketh away
But you only listen to what the forest says
The earth is an island in the universe
We walk it blindly looking for our rebirth

I once loved a girl who enchained me like a snake
She told me the moment was whatever you make
I knew i never could make her happy in the end
For happiness is in the eye of the beholder my friend

The family curse was as real as a Hearst
But you had been quenched with a different curse
We took it at face value we didn't know our worth
Bled our hearts of darkness looking for our rebirth

The city like a meadow rolls over the rolling hills
You’re somewhere out there in the sea of lights taking your share of pills
We all cling to something even if it’s just smoke
Singing along to the songs we wish we had wrote

The highway leads to nowhere though it’s somewhere you have been
The aura in the air is your long lost friend
Letting go of old wounds they told you it would hurt
You're in the valley of the shadow of death looking for your rebirth

Underneath the bridge like Kurt Cobain
Watching the decline of civilization’s reign
There is no secret you just have your name
We’re only entitled to the love that we gave

If there is a god why’d they let us go
We’ve been on our own since we've always known
Another spirit another world
We wander the river looking for our rebirth

I lost faith in the feeling i was born with the blues
Feel at one with the ocean and its impending doom
I once danced with witchcraft use to play with the fire
It strummed my heartstrings like apollo’s lyre

I've always been running though i've never escaped
I see now i'm here to learn what it takes
Don’t know how long i'll live for don’t even know if it will work
I look thru the looking glass looking for my rebirth

It really could be nothing or could be all of your dreams
Or it could be a cycle like the turning leaves
Will we return as a new life or will we return to the dirt
The soul is just a searcher looking for it’s rebirth
