lyrics

Have had so many images flickering through me at night when I sleep. don‘t remember their outlines, don‘t remember those names and faces. but their shadows, they dance through the caves in my head, blurry shapes on the walls. and their shadows still dance through my head.

looked in so many eyes in bewilderment, blind to stories they tell. have heard all of your voices try to pronounce the unspeakable. and their echoes, they bounce through the caves in my head, resonate from the walls. and their echoes still bounce through my head.
and their echoes still bounce through my head.

the moon is full. my glass is empty. and yet as heavy as before

we are crying in silence and laughing out loud when all eyes are on us. stay away with your sadness, don‘t remind them we‘re all just flesh and bone.

I‘m so thirsty, give me water, and I won‘t mind it‘s thick with sorrow and salt. I‘m so thirsty, I will drink it all.
I‘m so thirsty, give me water, I won‘t mind if it is heavy with salt, and your sorrow, I will drink it all.

the moon is full
the glasses empty
and we are lighter than before
