Thrice - The Color of the Sky (Horizons / East ) lyrics
[Thrice - The Color of the Sky Horizons / East lyrics]
My first and foremost memory
Is staring up in wonder at the wall
It circumscribed the city- they said beyond
It nothing dwelt at all
But, I came to wonder if
The stories all were true
So one night I made my mind up- I
Resolved that I would find
The passage through
And as I made my plans
My head would spin and swiftly
Dance between the whys
Like why the roads were all dead ends-
Why we'd no word to name
The color of the sky?
And why did these tunnels lead
Me deep bеneath the streets?
When I was through I lit my lamp
With somеthing soft and green and
Damp beneath my feet
And I don't know the way
But, I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take
As the stars begin to fade
I stride to meet the breaking
Day and breathe it in
It rakes over my tongue
So crisp and cool inside my lungs
Against my skin and I see the colors burst
And bloom beneath the dawn-
The brilliance overwhelms me
Leaves me wondering what new
World I'm even on
And I don't know the way
But, I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take
And I don't know the way
But, I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take
Is staring up in wonder at the wall
It circumscribed the city- they said beyond
It nothing dwelt at all
But, I came to wonder if
The stories all were true
So one night I made my mind up- I
Resolved that I would find
The passage through
And as I made my plans
My head would spin and swiftly
Dance between the whys
Like why the roads were all dead ends-
Why we'd no word to name
The color of the sky?
And why did these tunnels lead
Me deep bеneath the streets?
When I was through I lit my lamp
With somеthing soft and green and
Damp beneath my feet
And I don't know the way
But, I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take
As the stars begin to fade
I stride to meet the breaking
Day and breathe it in
It rakes over my tongue
So crisp and cool inside my lungs
Against my skin and I see the colors burst
And bloom beneath the dawn-
The brilliance overwhelms me
Leaves me wondering what new
World I'm even on
And I don't know the way
But, I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take
And I don't know the way
But, I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take
