Orphans Lyrics

edit | print

(lyrics are written by Beck, Youthless)

Think I'm stranded but I don't knowwhere
I got this diamond that don't know how to shine
In the sun where these dark winds wail
And these children leave their rulers behind
As we cross ten leagues from a rubicon
With matchsticks for my bones
If we could learn how to freeze ourselves alive
We could learn to leave these burdens to burn

Cast out these creatures of woe
Who shatter themselves
Fighting a fire with your bare hands

Now my journey takes me further south
I want to hear what the blind men sing
With their fossils and their gypsy bones
I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone
And how can I make new again what rusts every time it rains
And the rain it comes and floods our lungs
We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake

If I wake up and see my maker coming
With all of his crimson and his iron desire
We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing to be loved or destroyed
From a void to a grain of sand in your hand

Think I'm stranded but I don't knowwhere 
I got this diamond that don't know how to shine 
In the sun where these dark winds wail 
And these children leave their rulers behind 
As we cross ten leagues from a rubicon 
With matchsticks for my bones 
If we could learn how to freeze ourselves alive 
We could learn to leave these burdens to burn 
 
Cast out these creatures of woe 
Who shatter themselves 
Fighting a fire with your bare hands 
 
Now my journey takes me further south 
I want to hear what the blind men sing 
With their fossils and their gypsy bones  
I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone  
And how can I make new again what rusts every time it rains 
And the rain it comes and floods our lungs 
We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake 
 
If I wake up and see my maker coming 
With all of his crimson and his iron desire 
We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing to be loved or destroyed 
From a void to a grain of sand in your hand
