the path that lay before us is a road we cant ignore and yet still we are cryin

the world we leave behind us is on fire and detritus is all we wear on our backs

still we can see the star up high as we step into the sky it's a weird place we're becomin

golden days are all this world is worth and golden rays are all we feel like the fire right in her eyes

and nothing really changes except seasons and who's datin its all a turning wheel

we gather deep before us our sad words and happy forests it's bound to work out right?

its hard for them to breath when you're too busy breathin for them its known that space is the place

golden days are all this world is worth and golden rays are all we feel like the fire right in your eyes

please move but when do please move gently and in solitude don't go past the line

breathe in breathe deep and let it steep you know outside there is a sheep just dyin to stretch out its hide

the waves and wolves and foxes all entwined as random concubines creating a mess of matter

and i guess im just in orbit with a dark and dangerous thing your shimmering clothes they suit you fine
