Settling Down Lyrics

I ran for thousands of years,
Throwing my spears
Toward my fears;
I drank the blood of my prey
To carry my days
Further through this maze;
The gods were showing me signs
Of their designs
Between the lines...

The brightness of your youth froze me,
Your ghostly smile reduced the whole world
To a little square...

I learned to caress the earth,
To cheer for a birth,
To moan when I follow a hearse;
The gods gave me the rain,
A sheep and a grain,
A cycle to follow again and again,
All these because you showed up,
You, visual drug,
Swirling in my blood...
The brightness of your youth froze me
Your ghostly smile reduced the whole world
To a little square
My trip came to a close
I am as happy as I can be
I'd do anything to keep
Whatever we got here that makes us feel complete...
You smoothly laid down my pride,
Devoured my selfishness,
I'd kill to know you're fine
I'd die for you, questionless.

The brightness of your youth froze me
Your ghostly smile reduced the whole world
