On one still morn

I found your letter hid under the dust


And opened up

And i read for the first time in my young life

Details of what i had done with the first

And recognized all those things that everyone always had seen

What they always had seen

Oh when they told me

All the things that they'd seen



A man looks out

With the sun on his back and a shadow before him.

Twice as large

Why do things born out of the dark live so long?

I am myself

It means too much to be my fault

It can't be helped

My head returns to nest in the sand



You know my neck will bend

You know my neck will bend

You know my neck will bend



Like in a desert when you dream for drops of rain

The guest you're waiting for never arrived, and all that remains

Is your reluctance to admit you're not prepared

While you sit there you commit yourself to always be scared



You'll always be scared

You'll always be scared

You'll always be scared



Your letter stung

I drifted miles to an island alone

A brother comes

Don't let me down, don't leave me where noone else can see



Where no one else can see

Where no one else can see

Where no one else can see

Where no one else can see

Where no one else can see

Where no one else can see

Where no one else can see
