We Aint Got a Beatbox
as the red shift fills my eyes
Minister my promises as her shadow cuts the day away
I remembered you, as you walked into that room
Dislocated, jagged pieces, are sliding into this broken mind
Swimming back against the river but I’m rising with the tide
Where we came from, we’re all going back there soon
How many times have we met this way?
How many lives have we lived before?
How many faces and how many names?
Shadows come, but shadows are gone
Shadows come
Oceanside
she never wanted to talk
she never wanted to argue
but that’s the way it goes
when there’s nobody listening
eyes straight on the front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue’s on the way
always the keeper of secrets
always the source of confusion
but that’s the way it goes
when there’s nobody listening
eyes straight on the front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue’s on the way
nobody said this way was going to be the easy
but i’ll tell you what i’m gonna do
can i take you to an oceanside?
can i take you to an oceanside?
for a few hundred years
i’m telling you that’s all i ever heard about it
can i take you to an oceanside?
never a word of intention
never a hope for reunion
but that’s the way it goes
when there’s nobody listening
eyes straight on the front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue’s on the way
nobody said this way was going to be the easy
but i’ll tell you what i’m gonna do
