Lyrics Carbon Leaf

Carbon Leaf

Desperation Song

Here I'm debating time, I'm waiting

Come the wake

Free fall the cannonball volcanic

shatters on the lake

You settle down,

Where you runnin' to?

What else can you prove?

How many, many more until you lose?

You thought a better plan could

Shake this shadow land

This frozen tundra hand

I'm turning it from shade to light

Hold it up to candlelight,

Roaring into firelight,

Scorching up the charlatans

Until it's city wide

All the people mobilize,

Nothing left to polarize

And nothing left to fake

Ring around the lake.

Ring around the lake.

Right on time, will you stay

Through the pouring rain?

Right on time, through the night,

Your laughter is my light

Right on time, desperation song

Dear I have missed your sigh

since crystal skies moved on

Peer out through shadow's doubt

I had no passion all along

You settle down. where you running to?

What else can you prove?

Is this all a game?

Was this all a ruse?

I've waited by the phone.

Cold as river stone

Anxiety. Alone.

I'm turning it from shade to light

Hold it up to candlelight,

Roaring into firelight,

Scorching up the charlatans

Until it's city wide

All the people mobilize,

Nothing left to polarize

And nothing left to fake

Ring around the lake.

Ring around the lake.

Right on time, will you stay

Through the pouring rain?

Right on time, through the night,

Your laughter is my light

Right on time, desperation song

Right on time, desperation song

I'm turning it from shade to light

Hold it up to candlelight,

Roaring into firelight,

Scorching up the charlatans

Until it's city wide

All the people mobilize,

Nothing left to polarize

And nothing left to fake

Right on time, will you stay

Through the pouring rain?

Right on time, through the night,

Your laughter is my light

Right on time, desperation song

Right on time, desperation song
