we get to be a ripple in the water
we get to be a rock that's thrown
we get to be a boy on the bridge
standing over the reservoir
i see the water lapping on the shoreline
buried forest of a man made lake
cemeteries are laying underneath it
your heart like a damn embrace
we're floating we're swimming
and at this moment we are forgetting
what we caused what it takes
for one perfect world when we look the other way
i'm okay if i don't look a little closer
i'm okay i if don't see beyond the shore
i'm okay i don't have to do the killing or
know what the killing is for
we're talking we're driving
and in this moment we are denying
what we caused what it takes
for one perfect world when we look the other way
it's one perfect world...when we look the other way
you can see beyond the middle isolation
and the miracle of daybreak doesn't move you anymore
(sun is glisting on the blacktop road)
connect the points and then see the constellations
(we are talkin' cellular and mobile)
as the night comes down on the reservoir
we're swimming we're floating
and in this moment we are beholden
to what we've caused to what it takes
for one perfect world
can we learn to live another way
it's one perfect world...can we learn to live another way
it's one...perfect world
get to be a ripple in the water |
