lyrics

Down a city street
into its gutter
a paper crane floated
proudly on rain water
it’s wings mint green
holding strong against the dampening
inspires nostalgia
of great big somethings

Blinding bright
Traffic lights
Shimmer in the mist
Deafening sound of falling ice
lets me scream and pound the earth with my fists
in control ‘til i’m not

Here one moment and vanished in the same
before breath can be caught
or it given a name
It's that feeling of forgetfulness
lingering until it is not
electricity lighting up you brain
until the fog comes and kills the thought

Blinding bright
Traffic lights
Shimmer in the mist
Deafening sound of falling ice
lets me scream and pound the earth with my fists
in control ‘til i’m not

I just want to feel you
Collapse into me
Soft skin on soft skin
real and not just memory

You made me feel like the future would never come
But the rushing waters proved
my wings were not so strong

Blinding bright
Traffic lights
Shimmer in the mist
Deafening sound of falling ice
lets me scream and pound the earth with my fists
in control ‘til i’m not

Though your structure may suggest
you could escape your fate
flap your wings to fly away
and escape from the drain
you ride the wave out
attracted to the notion of demise
frozen from reacting fast
afraid of ruining this rush
finally feeling alive

Blinding bright
Traffic lights
Shimmer in the mist
Deafening sound of falling ice
lets me scream and pound the earth with my fists
in control ‘til i’m not
