Life & Lanterns Lyrics

Up above the railway

Hours of contemplating never to be found

Tantamount to hearsay

Walked in what seemed like rain

And kept my head held down

Wasted lives and lanterns

The songs that my dreams are made of

Now I'm past my prime

But the blaze has blackened

Now that my realisation's out of time

Pull me from the fire 'cause I made a mistake

I'm calling on the sky to slowly sedate me

Put me in the choir 'cause made a mistake

I'm calling on the sky to help me hesitate

But it's too late

From the radiation

Shield your eyes, to see the figure falling down

Just imagination

I'm crushing my cheeks with eyelids

Friendly with a frown

Pull me from the fire 'cause I made a mistake

I'm calling on the sky to slowly sedate me

Put me in the choir 'cause made a mistake

I'm calling on the sky to help me hesitate
