Sparrow

A spoken word assumes the shape

Of histories to come

And the question raised is a shadow on the run

And so you lower your voice

And you make your choice

And then you whisper, “there could be no other way”

And for the very first time in a very long time

I can believe the words you say

Oh

But i’m not your enemy

And i hope you know

I sit and stare into your hollow eyes

And away we go

And i want you to know…

I’m not gonna blame you

For the beginning of the end

I’ve been reading the sign waves

Have been all my life

‘cause we know the difference

Between the worlds the eye begins to wander

How…

But your eyes are as cold

As empty caves

In unmarked graves

You know i wish that there could be some other way

And for the very first time in a very long time

You can believe the words i say

Well, i’m not your enemy

And i hope you know

I see the hunger in your hollow eyes

And i watch it grow

Caught in the flow

Of your blood’s undertow

No, i’m not gonna blame you

For the beginning of the end

I’ve been reading the sign waves

Have been all my life

‘cause we know the difference

Between the worlds the eye begins to wander

How…

I’m not gonna blame you

For the beginning of the end

I’ve been reading the sign waves

Have been all my life (i have been all my life)

‘cause we know the difference

Between the worlds the eye begins to wander

(wonder how…)

(i’ve been all my life)

Spoke to your ghost in a dream so real

Like a photograph for the way

That i feel to wonder (how) how

It’s time to take your chemical

Close your eyes

And the twilight pulls you under
