Canary and coal Blackbird and wire Circling suns Turn the winds toward your kingdom on fire Siren in red A priest with a bull's head Called you a liar Still so far away Still so far away Shadow and moan Shelter the soul Pulleys and rope Raise the arms of the gods in control Columns of air Foundation of blank stares Is taking it's toll Still so far away Still so far away Waiting in the cold gray light On the tarmac Every heartbeat organized Planes overhead Like ravens over a riverbed Maybe see you one more time In the blue light Every gesture sterilized But i saw it on your face and you knew It was just a lie, a lie, a lie Still so far away Still so far away
