So much history in these walls Kings, queens, empires of dust Tell me, is this the place you call home? I’ll wait a little longer Words hide out, super-glued to your tongue A narrative is crystallizing, Have you anything to do with this Hold my ribs through the horrors - (I scribble your name in my own heart’s ledger) - We’re in the presence of architectural beauty I see your signature: stunning peaks, running hills, elfin waters Are you in there somewhere? I’ll wait a little longer Memories fade in and out of view Nothing and everything to do with you I’m faced with monumental joy Inconsolable ruin Whisper to the one who’s doing the choosing - I scribble your name in my own heart’s ledger (in my own heart’s ledger) What good is novelty outside the kingdom of together (together) What good are riches won separate the kingdom of forever (forever) Say I can lie down and take rest Say I can lie down and take rest I’ve wanted to distinguish myself from the rest Now I just want to lie down and take rest, say I can (say I can) - Life on earth is a fever dream We’ve exchanged turns peering into the kaleidoscope Unfamiliar with your medium of beauty Where do you come from? How did you arrive? I’d be a fool to leave Paradise awaiting me So I’m a fool, I’m a fool I’m a human being (So I’m a fool, I’m a fool I’m a human being) I think that’s what you see in me. - I scribble your name in my own heart’s ledger (in my own heart’s ledger) What good is novelty outside the kingdom of together (together) What good are riches won separate the kingdom of forever (forever) Say I can lie down and take rest Say I can lie down and take rest I’ve wanted to distinguish myself from the rest Now I just want to lie down and take rest, say I can (say I can) - (Say I can lie down and take rest Say I can lie down and take rest) (Say I can lie down and take rest Say I can lie down and take rest) - What good is novelty outside the kingdom of together (together) What good are riches won separate the kingdom of forever I’ve wanted to distinguish myself from the rest Now I just want to lie down and take rest, say I can (say I can) -
