lyrics

sand dunes and bird song
it felt just like the movies and the story was sublime
seagulls and salt on your tongue
words came never easy so we'd read between the lines
can we? do we?
imagine what could be
suspending our beliefs

juggling the world in my hands
it couldn't have been more fragile
so soft and exposed on the outside
now it all amounts to nothing

sand dunes and bird song
the sound has been deleted though the scene won't go away
seagulls and salt on your tongue
a silent movie trailer for a film we never made

can we? do we?
abandon what should be
let go of all it means

turning the world upside down
I wish it had really mattered
we were sacrificed at the altar
and wound up on medication

we will be there
we'll taste the air
we will be there
maybe a year
we will be there
