Ground Beneath My Feet

I saw the light dance on your face

Paint the shadows of your shape

Back when the season made the days so long

And if I knew my time would come

With the lines rehearsed but never sung

I'd leave the chorus on your tongue

I swear

Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet

Every second takes a thousand days away from me

And if I close my eyes

I hear the gates swing wide

And by the morning light

I will have seen both sides

I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave

Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek

As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea

I feel their hearts beating next to me

I hear the chatter of my teeth

And I look around to see the ground beneath my feet

The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat

Do you see the waves running away from me?

You taste the cold here in the air I breathe

Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see

And I scream

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet

Every second takes a thousand days away from me

If I close my eyes

I hear the gates swing wide

And by the morning light

I will have seen both sides

So why'd you let me go?

I can no longer see

And I can't breathe
