Breathe Lyrics

Time is a line, liquid & fine
can such an invention divine the divine?
Time is a game, a rope and a chain,
learning old lessons again & again
Remembered in pieces of dreams we recall,
forgotten like plans that amounted to nothing at all,
& we breathe & we move without cause or direction.
Will you walk alongside me as long as it takes,
while the world keeps on spinning the near into far?
Will you place your hands over my heart when it breaks,
'til we wake to the dream of how perfect we are?
& we breathe & we move
&we fade fade into failing old memories.
Will you walk alongside me as long as it takes
while the world keeps on spinning the near into far?
Will you place your hands over my heart when it breaks
'til we wake to the dream of how perfect we are?
& we breathe & we hear & we see
without tearing our eyes out

Time & again - you rise & descend
to stare at your life through a darkening lens.
In time we all must be rendered to dust,
from mountains to valleys from iron into rust.
Awake for the fear of the dreams that may come,
pretending to sleep while your counting the beat of the drum,
& we breathe & we move without cause or direction.
