Orphans - Beck

[00:17.46]Think I'm stranded but I don't know where
[00:20.10]I got this diamond I don't know how to shine
[00:25.22]In the sun where the dark winds wail
[00:28.05]And these children leave their rulers behind
[00:32.15]As we cross ten leagues from a rubicon
[00:36.06]The matchsticks for my bones
[00:39.62]If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive
[00:43.53]We can learn to leave these burdens to burn
[00:46.36]
[00:48.06]Cast out these creatures of woe
[00:51.94]Who shatter themselves
[00:56.63]Fighting the fire with your bare hands
[01:00.89]
[01:04.20]Now my journey takes me further south
[01:07.10]I want to hear what the blind men sing
[01:11.41]With their fossils and their gypsy bones
[01:14.73]I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone
[01:18.83]And how can I make new again what rusts every time it rains
[01:26.73]And the rain it comes and floods our lungs
[01:30.48]We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake
[01:33.35]
[01:37.95]If I wake up and see my maker coming
[01:45.51]With all of his crimson and his iron desire
[01:53.60]We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing
[01:59.47]to be loved or destroyed
[02:03.41]From a void to a grain of sand in your hand
[02:08.90]
[02:39.32]Ahhhh
[02:46.98]Ahhhh oooh ooh
[02:54.84]Ahhhh oooh ooh
[03:02.58]Ahhhh oooh ooh
[03:08.70]
