Life In An Artificial Landscape Lyrics

A catalogue of incidents made me the man that I am

I remember lullabies in a dark room, and a fever on my brow

If you make all the right connections

You could unthread your very soul

Sitting in a car, I can hear the engine failing

And I remembered summers, English and warm like honey on my face

If you could listen to me talking

You'd hear apologies washed away like the rain

- I wonder if it's real, life on a wheel?

I saw a deer standing, frozen in my headlights

And I remembered childhood, when there was nothing here but fields

They tore down these buildings, replaced my home with empty ground

I filled my life with strangers to deny the man I am

And I hear the taxi waiting

I search your eyes as you turn to go

You speak in whispers and promises

But you never speak the truth to me

- I wonder if it's real, life on a wheel?

I feel like it's a game I'll never understand

Faces at the windows, violent cities and settled homes

I remember cold hard beds where relationships were formed

I feel that this is not a legacy

All my ideals turning to dust

- I wonder if it's real, life on a wheel?

Lost in empty stations, choose your destination
