lyrics

If you could see
The shadow that they spawned you from
If you could be
The man you hoped you would become
Then you would be
Authority become struck dumb
Then we would see
The cancer that has just begun

There is a switch
That turns the day into the night
There is a fuse
That makes the lightning burn the trees
There is a clock
That winds the days of all our lives
There is a book
That contains the names of all the murdered lives

If I could see
The final bird fall from the sky
If I could hear
The whisper in the last goodbye
If I could taste
The raindrops in a stormy sky
If I could be
The man you loved before you said goodbye

There is a path
That leads across uncharted ground
There is a bell
That peals the very final sound
There is a card
That gunmen always throw face down
There is a hand
That reaches up from hallowed ground

If I could be
The man you thought you needed most
If you could see
That my memory of you is lost
If you could be
As tangible as flesh and bone
Then I would not
Be crying on the end of this phone
