Lyrics
Plains
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Into the desert
Weather forever
Desperate clouds
Bellowing out
Seeing the future
Cautiously answer
It's only the plains
Sideways rain
The days whispered and shouted
And everything counted
The signs were around
We looked so we found
And seeking a pattern
None of it mattered
Watching the sky
Cycling by
Through the windows of a passed life
They are seeing the same things
But they are not laughing
The smoke from the engine
The bones of a plane
I noticed this vaguely
But it couldn't contain me
So I've been tamed
So it remains
And I am ashamed
Hiding in a stranger's hallway
Try to remember
Pen to the paper
Portion it out
What's it about
The pictures are empty
The voices have left me
There's only the plains
Only sideways rain
And I am ashamed
I am ashamed
And every day is just the same
