about

Inspired by the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, as well as a dear friend.

lyrics

Lord, is there something I can say to make it all
Blow away like a shadow in the morn
Cause it seems like we’ve been here all before, all before

I never thought you could heal somebody
With tiny rocks and crooked nails
But to see out you had to look inside
And to find your freedom you had to go to jail

So we’re falling again
But we'll be happy on the outside
In my mind
So we’re caught in a web
It'll be the same,
Keep movin to the ends of the earth
Oh I’ll run

I’m surrounded by unlucky friends
Who quote me poems and sonnets of betrayal
The haves will get just like the nots will lose
And all we can do is fly the sail

Lord will I say your name and know what life is for
With the words you said, nobody understood
Cause it seems like we’ve heard it all before


So we’re falling again
But we’ll be happy on the outside
Of my mind
So we’re gone in the end
And it’ll drag us cold and naked to the ends of the earth
Oh I’m gone

On the outside
On the outside

Say in the end of my days I'll be saved
I will change, I will change, I will change
Fade away like the stars that have no names
And faster everyday

So we're falling again
But we'll be happy on the outside
Of my mind
So we're gone in the end
Gonna run right right out
Keep moving to the ends of the earth
Oh I'll run

Lily we gon be alright now
We gon be alright now
Lily we can be alright now
We can be alright now
