Transience

Istanbul today

You said on the phone, but I'm barely awake

You've been away for too long

My love, I've gone strange

White birds falling down from the sky

Into the riverbed filled with ink

It swallowed up all light

And I will be snowed in as of tonight

I haven't been outside for days

If they're looking to be entertained

I wonder who they came for

Now everything I have left is on this stage

We load the car and drive off to any goddamn place

Last night in my sleep I climbed out the window

Saw a red tree glowing, floating in the air

Oh oh oh oh oh

I keep the thought of you a flame

How will I survive in this world gone mad?

There's no way now to find you, to find you

No human touch can bring me there

Music takes me places, oh, just like you, just like you

How will I survive in this world gone mad?

There's no way now to find you, to find you

No human touch can bring me there

Music takes me places, oh, just like you, just like you

How will I survive in this world gone mad?

There's no way I can find you, find you

No human touch can bring me where

Music takes me places, oh, just like you

Oh, just like you
