lyrics

His eyes are just like a hurricane
He opens his mind to worlds of pain
As he rolls into a somersault
His message is all but spoken

Sometimes we’re lost and alone
Just like pigeons we find our way home
Knowing what lies in the past
Not disclosing or taking a chance

Just like a waste of energy
That burns through the eyes of our enemies
It’s such an uncanny ability
They can turn it on like water

How sweet is sympathy
An uncanny ability to spread the disease

As wild and as torn as an ocean storm
Her hunger swarms under the summer warmth
As she dreams of embracing them graciously
But she’s always the runners up and waits patiently
Waiting for the day that never comes
Deluding to some but to others it’s fun
Their message is all but spoken
Their promise to them still broken

Sometimes we’re lost and alone
Just like pigeons we find our way home
Knowing what lies in the past
Not divulging or taking that chance

How sweet is sympathy
An uncanny ability to spread the disease

There's holes in our hands
But there’s room for these holes to expand
Tearing through the flesh
We whisper no
And the fear is set in me
As too are so many embracing religiously
No, not you and I
We will defy

(lyrics by David Gogerly)
