Consider this a sign:
This is a train in the night
And now it's time for you to go
You know you had a healthy life boy.
You walk this world like you're a ghost.
Your hands are coming though the needles --
Sick of your tragic and the evils
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone.
Look into the sun and see
Your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith
But now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone
What you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seem a little sick to me now
This is a coming of the times
You are a witness to the movement
If all you¹re seeing is lies
You had your chance, but now you've blown it
You want this world so you can own them
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone
Look into the sun and see
Your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith
But now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone
What you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seems a little sick to me now
From the light on high
A chance to change your fate
Forgiveness falling down
On those who chose to wait
Remember the time
Find yourself home again
Deep within your life
Find yourself a home again
It's a choice
You have chosen your own
In the old days
When the world was young and bright
If you raise the mask
Who will lead us home tonight
In the summer skies, the stars, the light...

I once had marigolds for eyes.
That seem to fade on sunny days.
When it's cold as the rain outside,
well then so am I.
Chorus:
So when it comes down,
you'll know, I'm with you.
And how could I show you?
It feels good to know.
It feels good to know you.
We once had oceans left to fly,
now the trees and the river
have parted ways.
When it seems like the fun has died,
well then, so have I.
Repeat chorus.
And how will you know?
We storm from a small, thin line.
We're torn from the old frames.
There's no one here to pull you back again..
So when it comes down, you'll know.
Mmmmm, you'll know.
Helena? pulled to the ground.
(how do I show you?)
Should've known
soon she would come down.
Words were the first thing to go,
(it feels good to know)
the lie they would never show,
Helena...
(and how will you move?)
Helena...
(and how did I show you?)
Helena...
(I couldn't show you)
Helena...
It feels good to know.
It feels good to know you.
It feels good to know you.

As the earth swung
this golden hum
seemed to wash over me
as the bells ringed
i heard you sing
and it called me out
to sea
you said how did you know
that fine living makes you slow
how could you know i was the one
and how could you see
impossibility
as far as you know
i am your sun
see i woke up frail and perfect
see i woke up tired and warm
as the old man stands to judge us all
i believe i am reborn
you said how could we know
fine living makes you slow
how could i know you were the one
i said how could you see
impossibility
as far as i know i am your sun
i swore
forever more
i would stand up
bright and clear
as we rise above our
doubts and fears
singing out so all may hear
