Thimbleweed - Moddi

Thimbleweed - Moddi
We built this place with high hopes
Blood on our hands
A giant on our shoulders
And maps of unfound land
God would give his blessings
In a language I don't speak
A blessing for the waking
The tired and the weak
A promise of a new day
Born with every little seed
And gardens growing over
With snow white baby thimbleweed
Then came the first eruptions
And everybody was amazed
A triumph for the structure
And all the memories it erased
But structures are forever
And do not care about the mind
We hid behind our eyelids
In fear of what we'd find
Now everyone was sleeping
Heavier than ever before
As broken vows and dead dreams
Washed upon a silver shore
I sat there by the window
As the hours turned to years
And never gave up hoping
There would be something for me here
Now everyone was waiting
For a day that never came
And wherever the wind blew
The sky would stay the same
