They're holding a vigil
But left only cinders sparking
On melted wax
They hold stars in their hands
But the world waits at the ashes' edge
Tunneling deeper
Search for me, baby,
'Cause I need to be found.
Dream for me, baby,
I can't sleep underground.
Chorus
And you want to know where and why
But I'm not at my best
All you need to do is try
And we'll figure out the rest
We'll figure out the rest.
And we're under a circling sky
Tell me it's not a test
All you need to do is try
And we'll figure out the rest
We'll figure out the rest
The moon lights the way
But doesn't tell us how to return
Or if we should
Cross the sluggish river
Open your eyes and pay the man
Don't wait to wake up
The rain's coming down
All over familiar foundations
Polluting the pristine
The center's falling out
While we're rebuilding ruins
One brick at a time
Speak for me, baby,
My lips can't make a sound.
Shine for me, baby,
The sun is going down.
Chorus
Pray for me, baby,
Awake before I'm down.
Fix me up, baby,
Everything's come unwound.
Chorus
