I'm here by my window
|
I am waiting for your parade
|
I will salute you
|
From above the crowd
|
As you make your way
|
You won the battle
|
You've won the war
|
I admit it now
|
I could not give any more
|
My condition is your reward
|
I am a building
|
Here without doors
|
|
The altitude is now
|
Getting to me
|
As they applaud you
|
On the boulevard
|
The whole valley looks like
|
Someone's body
|
And all the people look like
|
Little scars
|
This day is taking
|
Forever
|
I will never say
|
Never say never again
|
The flesh around me
|
is only pretend
|
Return to sender
|
Every letter
|
That is yours
|
I am sure
|
That I am a building
|
Here without doors
|
|
Fire blazing
|
On the overpass
|
Cattle grazing
|
In fields of dead grass
|
Last summer was earthquake weather
|
By November
|
This too should have passed
|
I am not moving
|
I am landlocked
|
I am looking through
|
A thousand windows spread across
|
A thousand floors
|
There in a landfill
|
Where Eden was before
|
But not anymore
|
I am a building
|
Here without doors
|
|
Did you see me waving to you from above
|
Things are looking clear now
|
My eyes are wide enough to see the way a sniper does
|
Behind the barrel of a good gun
|
|
For worse or better
|
I surrender
|
It may not matter
|
But I'm sadder than you'll ever know
|
I am your inferno
|
Here all in yellow
|
With embers blowing north
|
No sense in returning
|
I'm not worried anymore
|
I am a building
|
That is here without doors
|
|
I am a building
|
That is here without doors
|
|
