[I Was a Watchtower]
You’ll pick up the pieces won’t you
All that was blurry is distinct now
I should have never stuck around
My continuity’s all unfound
You’ll reuse the fabric won’t you
All that was certain only serves now to confuse
I wanna get lost on my own
So what if the changes fit her mold
I’m scared now only to be illegitimate
And if I escape from this cave
Will you think less of my face
Will you?
[Overgrown]
The rest of your life, in search of forever
With a rifle at your side you walk down into the meadow
Throw the bottle round with the cork still unscrewed
Campfire on the mountain, sunset shining over you
Found footage of window panes we’ve seen before
Broken glass from stones, scars from years outdoors
We’re stuck together in the wastes away from home
Empty and endless place but never walked alone
A dwindling supply of rope in your backpack
As we wander down these hills, reclaiming every setback
Following the rails once bustling and new
I wanna break the boundaries, cross that field with you
I couldn’t tell how well
My voice
Breaches through the trees
I can only hope
That you
That you can hear me
Every second glance always hides its intention
With a compass as your guide, you ease your defenses
Laying on the ground, silent forest sprawling view
I wanna break the boundaries, cross that field with you
The rest of our lives, in search of forever
With a rifle at your side you walk down into the meadow
Throw the bottle round with the cork still unscrewed
Campfire on the mountain, sunset shining over you
Found footage of window panes we’ve seen before
Broken glass from stones, scars from years outdoors
We’re stuck together in the wastes away from home
Empty and endless place but never walked alone
