lyrics

don’t wake me



do you remember when we climbed to the top of the mountain
to leave those babies for the sun gods
and we got all washed away
to the ends of the earth?
i remember that.
i saw that tapestry all the colors like a dream
she unfolded it for me
and she gave me a ring
and in it i saw us all
we're not all here anymore
some of us didn't make it.
i can still find you.
at least i tell myself i can.

don't wake me...

tell me that
you’ve made your
own fate

tell me you knew
and
that you gave yourself away

maybe you were the wise one
as time and gravity is pulling us
slow
into the ground
moments at a time
watching everyone we've lost
crash against the rocks
maybe you were wise
to go first

they say nothing's ever lost
but i lose things all the time
pieces of my mind
scattered behind
breadcrumbs to find my way home
but i know
the birds and ants will carry them away
there's no home to go to
anyway

oh you say
oh you say you're fine
you told me
oh
you told me you would be fine
you told me you would be fine
are you fine?
are you fine?

never..

don't, don't..

don't wake me..
