lyrics

This is strange enough I can feel it
Pulsing through my veins, it's keeping me alive.
Days turn over in their graves, they shout to me from the wasteland
Of moments I've let pass by.

Brother death he's got his ear to the floorboards
He waits for me to fall in love.
Mother life she wraps her fragile arms around me
But it's father time that I'm not so sure of.

So I ran from all that I knew of
Headed out towards the edge of all I thought I knew
And here I balance faith and reason
What makes us significant, what makes us be human?

Brother death he's got his ear to the floorboards
He waits for me to fall in love.
Mother life she wraps her fragile arms around me
But it's father time that I'm not so sure of.

You and I are lovely creations we are seeds in muddy soil
Daisies on a dirt road
And here we have forsaken our purpose we are locked in this dark forest
Searching for a home to call our own.

Brother death he's got his ear to the floorboards
He waits for me to fall in love.
Mother life she wraps her fragile arms around me
But it's father time that I'm not so sure of.
