lyrics

Very close to it
Near the place I sit
Fleeting flashes of
First we’re here, then gone

Totally at ease
How he likes to be
Knowing all can see
Where he’s placed his feet

It’s a hard day gone, but it don’t mean a thing
How long can you go on
Sitting there in between
The lines

(Pre Chorus)
There’s a place you see in your head
Where perfection flows, here instead
Life is real and time is all you have
To make the whole believe as you feel

(Chorus)
The highs and the lows won’t show
Each other to the in between
The left and the right won’t let
The other find a place to swing
Very close to a day when it won’t mean a thing
By-gones, so long, return back where you came

Very dear to me
Why’d it seem to flee
The fleeting flashes of
Soul’s security

Cross the tracks and see
Where the grass is green
Where we make the ends
Into the means

It’s a hard lesson learned, but it don’t mean a thing
How long can you go on
Sitting there in between
The lines

(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Oh my father who founded the ground
Which we stand on
You took it from someone
And now they’re gonna take it away
Oh how fair
It doesn’t matter where you come from
And to where you go
It all seems like someone else has a problem
And kill all of your kind

(Chorus)
