about

Do the faces of your people haunt your dreams?

lyrics

I kept myself away here
Faraway corners of my mind
In my ivory tower
I've grown a grey beard, in my time

The dead land gives it secrets
To the leavers of the light
And I seek greater power
In the mastery of my mind

Is it exile, truth-seeker
Is heartbreak your pursuit
Promise you'll come back
With what's left of you

What does it matter
If we all get what we wanted?
What does it matter
If it doesn't end our suffering?

And we trade it all away
Just to sleep sweetly
Without all these memories of you

I wander through the dead malls
And the drought fields, and the mire
I hide myself among them
Sing my grave songs in the night

For I have found a quiet here
No more signals from the skies
All this time to think here
And none to share my time

Is it exile, truth-seeker
Is heartbreak your pursuit
Promise you'll come back
With what's left of you

What does it matter
If we all get what we wanted?
What does it matter
If it doesn't end my suffering?

So I'll send my letters to you
Written in the finest scrawl
This new world is amazing, it's true
But I wouldn't trade it at all

It's not exile, wanderer
Your truth is your pursuit
Promise you'll come back
With what's left of you

What does it matter
If we all get what we wanted?
What does it matter
It it doesn't end my suffering?

And we trade it all away
Just to sleep sweetly
Without any memory of Ooo
