lyrics

we lay with our arms outstretched,
brought together
through a mutual fear of the linearity of passing time.
we confine each other,
to combat our flight from thought

caught in the tide
sea floor destiny
with this iron lung lifestyle.
no fire bright enough
none to light my way
i want to live my life
with colour

i long to hold these moments
to steady my limbs
i long to hold these moments
in the palms of my hands
in the wells of my mind
in the depths of my heart
earmarking my thoughts just to retain any bit of meaning
even a sliver of light

yet time abducts even our most bitter memories
and we're always in flight
idle, asleep, daydreaming at the switch

and death is an invisible deadline
