lyrics

You and me
fell out the meaning tree
And landed with a crash in the undergrowth,
surprised that our hopes don't float

Will you build us a tower?
Build us a tower
From your own skin and bone?

Will you build us a tower?
Build us a tower
From your own skin and bone?

The support beams
are parting at the seams
How can we climb with all of our engineers
espousing their own ideas?

Are you living inside us?
Living inside us
With our hearts pinned to your sleeve?

Will nothing divide us?
When you're living inside us
With our hearts pinned to you?

I tried the whole day
to look the other way
Wasting all your time

Plain as it could be
A wall in front of me
An impassable line

If we cannot go around,
then we will just have to go over,
And if we're carried on your cloud
why should we waste another way out?

We couldn't see
the wood for that one tree
And ended up here stripped of our uniforms
nude as a newborn

Reason erased
a stamp collection
worthy of all your days
Man works in mysterious ways

You were willing to find us,
Seek us out,
And deny us.
With your arms crossed at the gate.
