NEUROSIS LYRICS

1. Burn

You lie in the snow, cold but not dead
stare into the sun, long since its last heat

feel the freeze burn skin
salt your open wounds
a burning desire clears your eyes
a willful air fills your lungs

you choke your first breath of wildfire and ocean's depth
climb out of your hole, see your spirit take form

this world of cold stone gives nothing in return
to those who sleep while the restless burn
there are the few driven to flame
most are content to drown in the wake of dreams

the trail lies overground
across the years fade out of light
ever growing dim to an age in the dark
grasp from your soul a don't let it steal your eyes

2. No River To Take Me Home

The water's deep here
The less of me I show to you
The more I get to get me through

The stain of my eyes
Burnt deep within
Who will fall?
I asked not to know

I'm sealed away, you can't touch me now
Wheel and fire return to me

Let them come
Be my eyes, lead me on
Lift me out, tear me up, spark to fire
Whatever comes through me I will be
I had three signs thrown down on me
Fate frees my heart
Whatever comes through me I will be

Digging a hole so I can rest
No tears from no river to take me home
The seeds in my way, roots to the core
Of a rising sun falling through the wind to the soil

As my body leaves me
I cling to a tree in a dream
I'm screaming to you
Whatever comes through me I will be

3. The Eye Of Every Storm

A wind carries your scent to those who will find you out
A storm forces you down to seek shelter from the rain

Your trail leads to a mine of cyanide and gold
A free falling darkness leads you to your self

I am low to the ground again
I have the future bearing on down
I run with the starlight to the end
The tail of the echo subsides (oath breaker sinks low)

So I crawl through the hailstones
My eyes fixed on my return (oath breaker sinks low)

Time brings them all home to the eye of every storm

4. Left To Wander

A light gone out of the world today
The spirit rose like smoke
The corpse gave in to the ether
We're left to wander at the void

We're left to wander

The race to render your vision
A fracture in the world can devour
Return to the light of the bearer
The radiant breaks down into life

We're left to wander

5. Shelter

[instrumental]

6. A Season In The Sky

I had a vision last night, my god was glowing
There was another bridge on fire
And the last wrecks were counted
The sky opened and the blood flowed
A distant cancerous season was upon me
I had a hook in my back and a light to guide me
My words were useless again

The leftovers were playing with my memories of love
I screamed at my god and he let me go
I drifted silently to the desert and began to pray
I came to a pile of ashes and sifted through it looking for teeth
A snake spoke through me again
But I could not heal their wounds

I'm searching for the old spirit of war
With my rough hands and a sharp knife
I need something to cut into so that my god can see me again

To be right again
To see my shadow alone
To get back to the hook a let the light burn in my soul

All I've seen walking through the fire
The figures in my dreams
Run back on me in a psychic scar
As I ride to the dawn

7. Bridges

Let me speak free from scorn
Stars like weeds grow unshorn
They lie austere and vain
Old, still as the clay
Crows show our way home

Night was rain, a falling sea
A rusted dawn strains to be
Stones steam and snag the mists that rose
From the low sun, a solemn glow
O lustrous glow, the sun is low

You've started a fire , you've started a fire you can't put out
You've burned your bridges, can't go back from where you came
Vision is falling, just writhe and burn out of control
No use pretending, slither back into your hole

You'll drag your house down, when truth comes calling at your door
Stare through the misty wonder, the life of men's souls
Your cup is empty and you are running out of time
Caving your head in, don't dare to dream it will implode

8. I Can See You

Did you see your people?
They all turned out for you
We were all together not so long ago
In the shadows we can see you
In the wind we hear your laugh
When the light reclaimed you
We were left clawing at the sky

In the oceans we can find you
For the sun we praise your name
In the dirt we pray for god to bring you back again
I can see you, I can see you
In the void the stones are turning and turning and turning

I can see you, I can see you
