The Wanderer
Kid A
"slipping away"
you dream again and try to be real
dreaming only hurts when you're awake
dream a little more
sleep less like a spell
trying to wipe it from your memory
all the thoughts you thought you had
all the dreams you dreamed away
nothing fades like a dream
not just here because you're pretty
not just hear to say the words
not just afraid of what I don't know
not just gone like a day
not just out like a flame
where did you walk to
when the night was still
inside you are the flowers
and the ashes and the pain
nothing dances quite like your flame
nothing caresses the past,
yet trashes it the way you do
and your colours and your shadows
and now we stand in them together
and now we are like the mix of light that sprays the darkness
now we are like the dreams that have no stay
mourning
as the scarry styes
shiver and dim
until it bleeds daylight
off to sleep away these dreams
as they make no sense to any of you
don't try to think of them as me
I die as they suck my life away
do you smile like the flowers at the sun?
maybe it's time you did
the weather is brutal,
this time of year
yet I know it's not so bad
when I see them smile anyway
---------
coldness only comes because you're warm
you dream again and try to be real
dreaming only hurts when you're awake
dream a little more
sleep less like a spell
trying to wipe it from your memory
all the thoughts you thought you had
all the dreams you dreamed away
nothing fades like a dream
not just here because you're pretty
not just hear to say the words
not just afraid of what I don't know
not just gone like a day
not just out like a flame
where did you walk to
when the night was still
inside you are the flowers
and the ashes and the pain
nothing dances quite like your flame
nothing caresses the past,
yet trashes it the way you do
and your colours and your shadows
and now we stand in them together
and now we are like the mix of light that sprays the darkness
now we are like the dreams that have no stay
mourning
as the scarry styes
shiver and dim
until it bleeds daylight
off to sleep away these dreams
as they make no sense to any of you
don't try to think of them as me
I die as they suck my life away
do you smile like the flowers at the sun?
maybe it's time you did
