Covenant - Still Life lyrics

rate me

the muffled beat of distant music someone celebrates

it's hunting season urbanised I wish I could be there

warmth and laughter the right amount of danger

Johnnie Walker wisdom as Cohen used to say

but it's pouring down with rain

do you remember?

are you alive?

do you still speak of deeds undone?

I used to be immortal I was innocent as a child

my vision was unlimited I saw rivers on the Moon

had important things to say can't remember what they were

of all the things I did none had been done before

but achievements never last

do you recall?

do you dream?

do you still need company?

I had a friend who knew the language of the future

I'm told he lost his mind they say he went away

navigating empty streets astray among the lost

a shadow in the corner of a stranger's eye

but there's nothing left to learn

do you count the years?

do you breathe?

do you still watch the sunrise?

my ambition took me further than I dreamt

I don't even need a mirror anymore

the penthouse pool is full of ice

it should be flowers winter came too soon

but you never liked to swim

so you feel safe?

are you happy?

do you still know my name?
