Blinking Of An Eye

With the walking of the tightrope
And the wishing of the well
With the hoping of your last hope
And the sealing of the cell
It's getting hard to pace oneself
It's getting hard to hide
We're fading into wasteland
We're falling far behind
We think the same things
We walk the same way
We'll keep what we bring
But we might not win the day
Don’t be sad if this don’t last forever,
Don’t be sad if this one makes you cry
This little thing that you wanted us to bring
Will be over in the blinking of an eye.
Don’t be sad if we don’t stay together
Don’t be sad if we both realise
This little thing that you wanted us to bring
Will be over in the blinking of an eye
With the waking of the walking dead
And the waiting for the choir
And the making of the midnight shed
And the twisting of the spire
It's getting hard to help oneself
It's getting hard to breathe
We're questioning our mental health
But we're starting to believe
We think the same things
We walk the same way
We'll keep what we bring
But we might not win the day
Don’t be sad if this don’t last forever,
Don’t be sad if this one makes you cry
This little thing that you wanted us to bring
Will be over in the blinking of an eye.
Don’t be sad if we don’t stay together
Don’t be sad if we both realise
This little thing that you wanted us to bring
Will be over in the blinking of an eye
Don’t be sad if this don’t last forever,
Don’t be sad if this one makes you cry
This little thing that you wanted us to bring
Will be over in the blinking of an eye.

We sent paper kites flying to the bottom of the pool
Shared unopposed indifference to the rules
If you want to see the best of us just take us to the moon
And tell us if the journey ends too soon.
Strange caravans, bring your colours back to me
Strange caravans, as far as eyes, as far as eyes can see
We speak of Indian summers, as the winter sun begins
We run the races that we ultimately win.
We wait for falling footsteps, at the bottom of the stairs
We catch the falling embers, from the fire
Strange caravans, bring your colours back to me
Strange caravans, as far as eyes, as far as eyes can see
We love the evening's slumber, as the night gives us away
After the monumental turmoil of the day
We live and die together, we live upon this rock
We’ll never count the seconds, nor watch the clock.
Strange caravans, bring your colours back to me
Strange caravans, as far as eyes, as far as eyes can see
Strange caravans, bring your colours back to me
Strange caravans, as far as eyes, as far as eyes can see.

All we got are two straight lines
That’s all we need tonight
Take my hand, I’ll take the blame
Hang my head in shame
It’s all a part of the game
The second half of the play
You assumed that I was sane
The things you could have saved
For yourself
Here tonight, tripping over power lines
We’re fighting over peace signs
Take your time, but name the day.
Get lost along the way
It’s all a part of the game
It’s all a part of the charade
You assumed that I was sane
All the things you could have saved
For yourself…

A flash of light
Wakes you up and shakes the dust around the room, around your mind
The morning's on your side
The afternoon spent in a dream
All the things you could have seen
In a minute you'll be free
In a minute if you dare
I wouldn't want you to rely on me
With the turning of the sea I won't be there
Another day, the darkest hour has gone away
And the treasure map is found
You fly your kite
They cut the cake, you throw the rice
It falls upon the ground
In a minute you'll be free
In a minute if you dare
I wouldn't want you to rely on me
With the turning of the sea I won't be there

Breaking hearts by the fire escape
Juliette won't talk
So you ring her work extension
But she hangs up when you call
Juliette won't talk
You want to see her, want to pull her apart
Tell her your jokes and make her laugh
I haven't got anything that's good to say
I'm not going to hide away
So you sit yourself alone inside your city room
Writing love songs in the sugar with your silver spoon
And you pull apart your diaries
Read the entries for last week
Write another lie, and fall asleep
Waking, breaking bottles open
In fear of the dark
And then choosing your make- up and clothes for your day out at work
When you get outside it's all too far
You hate the walk
She might want to speak
But Juliette won't talk
Shhh
Shut up
Do you dream yourself to sleep or do you wake up?

Don’t be sad if this don’t last forever,
Don’t be sad if this one makes you cry
This little thing, that you wanted us to bring
Will be over in the blinking of an eye.
