lyrics

I’m in a dangerous place
avoiding hunters and forest fires
I lost my way

With all my broken devices
There is no hope of going back

The mountains cutting the sky in half
Little pieces of clouds

So I’ll be dancing on the edge of cliffs
Watching the rivers flowing back
to where I came from

Maybe I’m shrinking with the Aral Sea
Maybe I’m living where the tide was born
Maybe I’m living in reverse

One day the bridges will all collapse
Hit by the wave that’s growling now
Beneath me

I’m in a beautiful place
Avoiding hunters and forest fires
I lost my way
