From the recording Anthills Rise & Governments Fall
Lyrics
Overboard, and don’t look back.
The steam roller will squash you flat.
We will squash you flat.
Didn’t expect that.
But am I ready for this?
It’s not working out like I’d planned it.
Plans are paper thin,
and the words written on them.
I could look over the hill
See the rains coming
Cloud could cover
I could peer through the haze
Mouth the words
But no one hears me
Cloud Could
See the birds take flight,
It doesn’t mean they’re free.
The wind blows to the wall,
And they fall into the street.
You walk over carcasses lined to the gutter.
The whimpering envy of eyes that still flutter.
You’ve wings at your feet and doubt in your mind.
And you’ll never know.
I could look over the hill
See the rains coming
Cloud could cover
I could peer through the haze
Mouth the words
But no one sees me
Cloud Could
I see you, but you don’t see me.
A ghost behind a veil.
