lyrics

I talk to birds, they claim I’m the lucky one
They say you fixate on flying but we just yearn and envy for the way you run

Well if birds they dream to run, I’m bird in a tree dreaming under the sun
Cause when I think of you, all the crazy beautiful things you do, I get scared, I get scared and so I run

I walk at night, it’s the only time I can hear myself
Digging out ideas from an orchestra of visions that are someone’s else

All our thoughts aren’t our own, we’re just living in an edit room of tele-prompts and phones
And the space behind our eyes is trophy case for Madison Ave designs
So if you don’t check your head, You better run, run. You better run, run, run

I’ll dream your mind, you can just float off and go blank for some time
I’ll blur the line, between the sapphire goblet and the cellar wine

Chorus:
Stories old, they dry like dirt, you better irrigate if you want earth.
When the past has got your hands, you’re a push-over mannequin in a window’s quick sand
So if you dream before you sleep, you better run run, you better run run run
