//LYRICS//
Too much for the bodies of men 
The air burst as it split 
The many faces in binary clouds 
A whirlwind of their tears 
 
There was blinding light 
There was water falling 
How could I know that? 
How could I know that? 
If I wasn’t there? 
 
The people climb in a pillar of joy 
The palaces burnt to glass 
I saw it all from my shattering window 
And then I fell back to sleep 
 
There was blinding light 
There was water falling 
How could I know that? 
How could I know that? 
If I wasn’t there? 
 
And you’re wondering if it would all be the same 
If the pattern was different and you never got made 
If you stood up in school and just burst into flame 
And the closer you get you are falling away 
 
There was blinding light 
There were many eyes 
How could I know that? 
How could I know that? 
If I wasn’t there? 
 
And the way that you wanted it never comes true 
And the bird in the shed it was looking at you 
But you blew off it’s head because that’s what we do 
And I’ll always believe in you, endlessly
