Lyrics:
The night is long as the river’s wide
and I cannot feel my hands
The silence pulls the power from the air
and I cannot clear my head
You often told me that time is full of holes
and souls with empty eyes
In days like these their cryptic static interferes
and stands in the way of our dreams
No I can’t and I won’t,
no I will not watch them fade
No I can’t and I won’t,
no I will not watch them fade away
How many times must we hold out our own skin
like a beggar’s broken teeth
To myself I turn an eye, inward by and by
The belly of the beast
I searched but couldn’t find the parts you left behind
The burden of a heavy heart
Or can its presence carry light into the dark
As hearts break into rain
No I can’t and I won’t,
no I will not watch them fade
No I can’t and I won’t,
no I will not watch them fade away
