Beast In Air, Beast In Water

(album: Laminate Pet Animal - 2011)

You and me, we're both the same
Given a chance you'd wanna be free
Aside from food and sleep
I know we can find time to teach the old ways to the young
And keep our story

The sand feels like we're walking on balloons
The air is stairs, our eyes are bright
You said I still feel queasy after you woke me up
As our fire begins to roar
I cannot help this feeling, I've seen this all before
But something's different

Tell me that you came for me
'Cause I've been waiting for you
Tell me you can hear what I'm saying
'Cause it's a long walk back to town
And I'm a far cry from the old me

I recall your sense of urgency
When you heard of this place
You knew neither crevice nor hole
Could conceal you like you'd planned
And you can paint your face here, any color you'd like
'Cause there's a divide between this world I found
And the weariness of our old one

Tell me that you came for me
'Cause I've been waiting for you
Tell me you can hear what I'm saying
'Cause it's a long walk back to town
And I'm a far cry from the old me

Tell me that you came for me
'Cause I've been waiting for you
Tell me you can hear what I'm saying
'Cause it's a long walk back to town
And I'm a far cry from the old me

Tell me that you long for me
That you share all of my troubles
You get all the voices in my head are yelling
And my friends can't hear a thing
And I'm a far cry from the old me

Your secret's safe with me
