city of salt - water from the rock lyrics
dropped into silence black as pitch, a newly orphaned dream
where my reality will twist the good and the obscene
and i would not fight you, but i’ve lost the war you promised i would win
and all my energy is spent in losing you
back to the city i know best, a plague enough for three
where every truth that could have lived is taken by the breeze
my arms are tired, lord, my soul is shaking in the wake of you!
like moses’ water from the rock, i’m bleeding you
last night i lost my only friend. was it easier for you
to dance on mountains while he bled for dreams of something true?
and all my soul could want is something sacred, something i can choose
but like a heart without a lock, i’m losing you
if i knew now what i knew then
would you’ve stayed by my side, tempering lies?
if i stood now where i stood then
would your recognize my swollen eyes?
cuz’ all my visions fail where yours begin, this road
was carved out long ago, before i ever
nailed you to that cross! the curtain rises slow
and i’m alone again. oh, did i ever
know that you were anything like me?
