lyrics

I used to rule a city not long ago
And they would all ring bells when I went by
I was alert, I was dapper, I was fine
Walking a solitary street

Cuz the space inside my lungs just would not fill
When the deepest root remains untouched
My tie came undone, I was spinning my tires in the mud
What was I looking for?

I stayed out counting seeds till dawn
Then I got out of bed at noon again
Walked naked through the lawn
When will my life begin?

Flame inside my fingers don't let me rest
I woke up after midnight with a muse upon my chest
Athena broke her father's skull, a spear thrust made things wonderful and new
Like you eluded me both day and night, O star within the bag guide me to you

I want you to know my heart
I want you to know my heart
I want you to know my heart
I want you to know my heart
