lyrics

The shadows of dought, that you're imprisoned unaffected,
by the high desert rock formations, with grimacing stone,
The heart of a crow, left uncrippled unaffected,
by the hollow in his bones that let him float away,

You're wasting light, when you leave the curtains open,
And you're wasting time, when you've gone to bed alone,
And you're heart's been wired, to be aimless in devotion,
Your wasted life, Oh me Oh my

You're young and you're strong, and yet in combat you were bested,
by some older fellows fighting for vitality,
So don't make a sound, 'cause there's a curfew in this town,
it's ten o'clock so tell me are your kids around

You're wasting light, when you leave the curtains open,
And you're wasting time, when you've gone to bed alone,
And you're heart's been wired, to be aimless in devotion,
Your wasted life, Oh me Oh my

You're wasting light, when you leave the curtains open,
And you're wasting time, when you've gone to bed alone,
And you're heart's been wired, to be aimless in devotion,
Your wasted life, Oh me Oh my
