lyrics

What have I become
Water on the sun
The bullet in the gun
The light inside the siren

The reason’s going in and out
Our lonely ghosts will scream and shout
If they could only hear me now
They’d leave their chains upon the ground
Cause the reason’s with me now

What do I deserve
Riding round the earth
How much is it worth
To say I had the last word

The reason’s going in and out
Our lonely ghosts will scream and shout
If they could only hear me now
They’d leave their chains upon the ground
Cause the reason’s with me now

Who have I deceived
With patches on my sleeves
A smile on my cheeks
And laughter all around me

Take all I can live without
I’ll follow where the seasons howl
A flock of starlings spinning round
The same belief that built the clouds
Free to speak your name out loud
Now all you need’s a willing crowd
I mark inside the space allowed
On every single face a shroud
I’ve stolen what I thought I found
I thought I heard a perfect sound
But the reason’s with me now
