We Thought Your Hearts Were Beating

(Album: The Man With Wooden Legs - 2009)

How the time has passed and we've been talking to ourselves
Hoping someone passing by will hear our words and stop to listen
Are we so deafened by the passing planes overhead?
Can we not see them, have our eyes become accustomed to the dark?

We watch the sunset from our tall tall towers
That we built upon the victims of our glorious march.
Have we become silenced by the passing trains outside our window?
Can we not see them, have our eyes become accustomed to the dark?

We thought your hearts were beating, so soft we barely felt them
Your lungs were full from all of the things that you needed to say

When we look in the mirror do we see anything at all?
Have we become nothing but the cracks in the walls?
When we look outside, do we see anything at all?
Was there ever really anything there?
(There is nothing there..)

I hope you wake up one day
And tear the veils from our faces
And see how beautiful the world can be.
We will open our mouths and reach our hands towards the sky..
"The Sun Has Come For Us Again!"
