letra de cathedrals - animal flag

[verse 1]
i’ve been asleep for most of my life
to the things that i want, i am chained tight
it’s true that the punishment must fit the crime
some call this living, i’m just doing time

[chorus 1]
with lungs filled with water or lungs filled with smoke
we must learn to sing the words we once spoke
in the midst of our seasons wearing death like a crown
we must learn to walk lightly on delicate ground
as the earth turns below us on an axis of time
that only moves forward as we beg to rewind
the tape at the end of our vaporous lives
will it show what we wanted or that we just learned to tell a few lies
while we were alive

[verse 2]
i’ve been asleep for most of my life
to the pain i have cause, i remain blind
i’ve played the victim one too many times
i have my reasons, but it still isn’t right

[chorus 2]
like cathedrals built on slow sinking sand
so is the life of a resentful man
we must learn to walk backwards through our p-ssage of time
and forsake our demons and idols alike
cause if your god’s in a building than your god is a stone
and i’m sure there are things that i’ll never know
but despite how far i wander i can still hear them sing
the ballad of life and of death it is ringing

[bridge]
what is known is not for us
does not the father guide the son?
with speaking up i am done
quiet my heart quiet my tongue
come speak in the silence
