The tallest man on earth - Bright Lanterns lyrics

rate me

Well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after

And memories of gold on the run, flying around

Was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty

A vision of a mount you say, so where did it go

It was light and I held it like a child to be saved

From the fires and from the falling down satellites

But still wondering

Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain

Though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine

And fallen kids all rising men among their logs, but leavers

Suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles

It's only what these kids will haul around

Well there's a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers

And medicine for balancing things, like seeing your ghosts

So thank god we're bright, said the lanterns brother

Cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see

It was day and I stood there once again climbing quick

When I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering

But he said

Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger

Though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights

I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages

Always believing there's a canyon for every blind

It's only what these kids will haul around
