lyrics

The city keeps me aglow
defends me from the claws of hush and bore
drags my being straying on the loud concrete and asphalt
concedes a small shaky light to make all seem to shine
just like the will o' the wisp.

The whale swims in its lake
its chant makes all shake like a seaquake
there meets sirens charming and lulling from depth
cursed to run out every now and then to look for a breath
just tens of feet above there.

There is a place out there where I don't wanna live
and there's a place nearby where I just can't live at all.

The mountain holds my wrists
defends me from mists and from time twists
drawin' fast on this never stopping train toward end
concedes a small sleepy gloom to make all seem just wise
as far as things ever can.

The whale's flying in the air
just sneezing a flare of need and scare
for it actually is a misfit fish swimming out of its pool
forced to confess what its seaquakes and sirens just were
nothing but folds in the waves.

Nothing but folds in the waves.
