Think I'm stranded but I don't know where   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 shattered 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 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
