lyrics

Dreams flow and I know there’s some grand ones
Minds grow and then there’s some grandsons
Kind souls they frail and they die young
Reaching for the light of the sun

So fly me close to the sun
Melt both your wings and climb into the belly of a whale
Sleep there and rest there, be scared
Until it’s safe to come back up
So fly

Bristles on a blanket page
Passing time for killing pace
Plague the day for tender
My face a strange pretender
Wake up to a brand new day

So much falling into place
So many climbs and falls from grace
People good at faking
And others good at taking
Meaning from an ashtray

So fly me close to the sun
Melt both your wings and climb into the belly of a whale
Sleep there and rest there, be scared
Until it’s safe to come back up
So fly

No luck
The king has won the game
Awestruck
A pawn you were today
Young blood
A pastor for the vain
Brash brave
Idiotic prey

I came and I saw, but I never did conquer you
(I lie enough, I lie awake)
