lyrics

You were born inside of a rain drop. I watched you falling to your death. And the sun, she could not save you. She had fallen down too, now the streets are wet. Body of water, toxic and timeless. Atlantic Ocean, New York skyline. I always get lost when I leave the village, so I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night.
But I still sing Glory, from my lowest. And I will say peace to the people I meet. While the world waits for an explosion, that instant of light that wipes the slate clean.
Don't be fooled, don't get lied to. Love was always cruel.
Don't act strange, don't be a stranger, it happened to me now it's happening to you.
But if you take that train under water we could talk it through.
If I could tame, all of my desires. Wait out the weather that howls in my brain. Cause it seems that it's always changing, the wind's indicision, the sorrowful rain. I was a postcard, I was a record, I was a camera until I went blind. Now I'm riding all over this island, looking for something to open my eyes.
But I still sing Glory, from a highrise. I will say thanks, if you're pouring my drinks. While the world waits for an explosion, that moment in time when we'll be set free.
So don't stay mad. Just let some time pass and in the morning you'll wake feeling new. And if I don't come back. I mean, if i get side-tracked. It's only cause I wanted to. I'm keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue.
