Hour - The Empty Streets lyrics

rate me

Takes me up so high<br />

alone atop a lush green hill<br />

the wind runs through my face my hair<br />

yes i can feel your presence still<br />

and the harder the rain eats the ground<br />

and the greyer the clouds swallow the sky<br />

and the closer i can get to tears<br />

without getting to the point of crying<br />

<br />

i stand with arms outstretched<br />

i stand with no regrets<br />

i'm feeling warm in the cold<br />

and i'm waiting to see where you descend<br />

i'm hungry for that burning hole<br />

<br />

and the more the colours are sucked from life<br />

and the more it seems like there is no time<br />

and the louder it al<br />

And the less it makes me feel like trying<br />

and the more i've drunk the night before<br />

and the harder it is just to open my eyes<br />

and the drab and the bleak<br />

and no one speaks<br />

<br />

and the harder the rain chews the ground<br />

and the greyer the clouds swallow the sky<br />

and the more my head swims in tears<br />

without getting to the point of crying<br />

and the more the colours are drawn from life<br />

and the less it seems like you're bound by time<br />

and the louder it all and the empty streets<br />

and the closer i am to flying away<br />

<br />

away from the stagnant people<br />

content with going nowhere<br />

the specks of dust<br />

pretending to be someone<br />

they all make me feel<br />

as i walk with barefeet<br />

under blades of grass<br />

that apart from you striking me down<br />

and lighting up my sky<br />

all i could do to make the world seem brighter<br />

is to shut my eyes
