How Do We Get Out?

from Elusive Angels by Bill White

/

lyrics

Your legs get heavy
You lie down to rest
Your feet get cold
Theres a ratlte in your chest
When that icicle slides up into your heart
Everything freezes and the journey starts

Where is the way
Where is the light
To guide us through the darkest night
You are free, the warden shouts
The walls are down
But how do we get out

how do we get out
when we cant stay in
the music ends and the chaos begins
we gotta drown before the next wave breaks
in the morning only sleepers awake

How do we get out
How do we get free
When we are sailing on a fiery sea
And a cold wind hits our sails
How do we break out of this jail

i saw figures in the light
trying to push me to the edge of the night
i was yelling let me be
you are no relation to me
no mother, no father, no friend
waited fr me at the end
o was alone in that lonesome hour
in which pity has no power

How do we get out
How do we get free
When we are sailing on a fiery sea
And a cold wind hits our sails
How do we break out of this jail

When you dissolve in the river
like an effervescent pill
you are everywhere at once
and will be nowhere still

How do we get out
How do we get free
When we are sailing on a fiery sea
And a cold wind hits our sails
How do we break out of this jail

in a world of shadows
hear the churchyard moan
dancing with the dead
in their wrecked up homes
How do we get out
How do we get free
When we are sailing on a fiery sea
And a cold wind hits our sails
How do we break out of this jail


when you get out. where do you go
to the land nobody knows
like a car thats gone to rust
are we returning to cosmic dust
im looking for the way the truth, and the light
but im getting nowhere fast tonight
still im hoping to meet some one
when i get to the far side of the sun

Where is the way
Where is the light
To guide us through the darkest night
You are free, the warden shouts
The walls are down
But how do we get out
