We get to be a ripple in the water
|
We get to be a rock that's thrown
|
We get to be a boy on the bridge
|
Standing over the reservoir
|
|
I see the water lapping on the shoreline
|
Buried forest of a man made lake
|
Cemeteries are laying underneath it
|
Your heart like a damn embrace
|
|
We're floating we're swimming
|
And at this moment we are forgetting
|
What we caused what it takes
|
The one perfect world when we look the other way
|
|
I'm okay if I don't look a little closer
|
I'm okay I if don't see beyond the shore
|
I'm okay I don't have to do the killing or
|
Know what the killing is for
|
|
We're talking we're driving
|
And in this moment we are denying
|
What we caused what it takes
|
The one perfect world when we look the other way
|
|
One perfect world...when we look the other way
|
|
You can see beyond the middle isolation
|
And the miracle of daybreak doesn't move you anymore
|
Connect the points and then see the constellations
|
As the night comes down on the reservoir
|
|
We're swimming we're floating
|
And in this moment we are beholden
|
To what we've caused to what it takes
|
The one perfect world
|
Can we learn to live another way
|
|
Perfect world...can we learn to live another way
|
|
One...perfect world
|
Get to be a ripple in the water
|
