Still So Far Away

Canary and coal

Blackbird and wire

Circling suns

Turn the winds toward your kingdom on fire

Siren in red

A priest with a bull's head

Called you a liar

Still so far away

Still so far away

Shadow and moan

Shelter the soul

Pulleys and rope

Raise the arms of the gods in control

Columns of air

Foundation of blank stares

Is taking it's toll

Still so far away

Still so far away

Waiting in the cold gray light

On the tarmac

Every heartbeat organized

Planes overhead

Like ravens over a riverbed

Maybe see you one more time

In the blue light

Every gesture sterilized

But i saw it on your face and you knew

It was just a lie, a lie, a lie

 

Still so far away

Still so far away
