The Tallest Man On Earth - Bright Lanterns lyrics
[The Tallest Man On Earth - Bright Lanterns lyrics]
We have clear blue waking skies
And 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 mountain you said
So where did it go
It was light and I held it
Like a child to be saved from the fires
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 mad among their lost believers
Suddenly darker in their eyes
And their broken smiles
It’s only what these kids will haul around
There’s a lot of selling land
For hungry feet of answers
And medicine for balance and things
Like seeing your ghosts
Thank god we’re bright
Said the lantern’s brother
Because I don’t know a thing about boats
Or the land I see
It was day and I stood there once again
Climbing equipped 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
And 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 mountain you said
So where did it go
It was light and I held it
Like a child to be saved from the fires
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 mad among their lost believers
Suddenly darker in their eyes
And their broken smiles
It’s only what these kids will haul around
There’s a lot of selling land
For hungry feet of answers
And medicine for balance and things
Like seeing your ghosts
Thank god we’re bright
Said the lantern’s brother
Because I don’t know a thing about boats
Or the land I see
It was day and I stood there once again
Climbing equipped 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
