Kuroi Ledge – A Lot Like Birds – letras

The cool airTakes me backJust for a momentAnd I spend it all without realizationI have to go backI have to go backIt’s not fairI wish that time would stop for meJust this onceBut it never will, so run it offI’m still hereI know you’re waiting for me past the doorwayAnd if it’s you that’s haunting me, say somethingAnd if it’s you that’s haunting me, say somethingIf it’s you that’s haunting me, just speakI’ve come this far with a different map in each of my handsThey’re drawn completely from memoryOne takes me home, one takes me nowhere in particularI always seem to pick the path with all the shortcuts openAnd the lines and the circles more steadily drawn(I guess there’s only one more way to go.)I always seem to say the things thatI had promised I would leave unspokenAnd act surprised when they come tumbling outInto the air and sounding wrong(We’ve all been way too far away from home.)I never thought of what would happenIf I ever found the gate closedTethered in rusted thread and icedOver blue and grey from the cold(It’s time to break off all those chains of old.)But the gate holds, allowing entrance to the windAnd smaller leaves and I am stuck now, homebound(I guess there’s only one more way to go.)Can I turn back?Is it too late?Is there some place I belong?Is there any place to call a home?I guess there’s only one real way to knowIs this the only way?As shallow as the water is, it swallows meAnd I can’t stop looking at the world around me solemnlyAs we stand here in the fallen leavesWill you promise me, just promise meThat no matter what the weather’s like, you’ll follow me, follow me?And no matter what I say, you’ll take it honestly, honestly to heart?I’ve got a long way to go and if I do it alone I won’t make itThe call of the void is coming from the balcony »L’appel du vide. « So now I let my fate take overAnd as I sink into the consequence belowThis is how far we goThis is how far we goSo now I let my fate take overAnd as I sink into the consequence belowThis is how far we goThis is how far we goFace forward falling straight for the pavementMouth open catching death just to taste itTwist my body to align with the starsThis is my favorite partThis is my favorite partSuspended close to earth but very farThis is my favorite partOnce we touch the ground we forget who we areI guess I finally had the courage to go awayThe promises we made were made hollowlySometimes you’d reassure me we’d be okayBut you’d always leave
