March of Me

The bandages are swollen, Sirens ring and whine, The red light on my clock pulses Like the small end of time People look like sketches, It's difficult to write, I've been sending out postcards Leaving the second side white We throw hammers at shadows Then scamper from the shine I'm just looking for the light in your eyes The greedy and the grounded Both sneak out the back way When the only light you'll find Are our memories of the past day It's orbiting around you, Crown the evening sky It's the sun let go of it's grip And slipped out of the sky I sail into anotherversion of this dream My hands lay flatand still across my knees The bone police machine men, They'll ask you for a light And if you're not a smoker, Then they'll challenge you to fight They'll make you feel unwelcome, They'll make you feel unkind, Still what you seek and where you are Both fall on the same line And my imagination runs wild and dark bright I'm just looking for something to ignite The angels a cappella, One breath at a time The woods are filled with bandits, We're outnumbered one to five And Judas told the abbott, I'm losing too much sleep I'm terrified to go back, I'm so scared of what I'll see It's like falling into traffic One step at a time Questions with no answers fill my mind The bone police machine men, They'll ask you for a light And if you're not a smoker, Then they'll challenge you to fight They'll make you feel unwelcome, They'll make you feel unkind, Still what you seek and where you are Both fall on the same line And my imagination runs wild and dark bright I'm just looking for something to ignite The angels a cappella, One breath at a time The woods are filled with bandits, We're outnumbered one to five And Judas told the abbott, I'm losing too much sleep I'm terrified to go back, I'm so scared of what I'll see It's like falling into traffic One step at a time Questions with no answers fill my mind I just need the sun's beams to see I don't need no one to lead me With all things being equal And all things being fair - I'm climbing up the stairs I'm mending what has tears I've been drenched in sunlight And then in comes the night It's a world of tribes and countries And these banks with long dark sleeves And everyone's so close yet out of reach Yesterday was sorrow May tomorrow bring sunshine I'll meet you by the buzzing exit sign After we die
