Constellation Freeway - Wound Up Words

Cover your eyes
And wait for the sound
Of the sun
Burning through the morning
And I wish I could return
But I broke down and I burnt
All the paper walls that held me to the ground
And as the stars rose higher
We fell far below
And your eyes fell short
Of mine beneath the glow
Of the embers of the night
Burning electric all around
All the wound up words we never found
So I'll cover my tongue
And I won't make a sound
Lest I fall through the ashes of the morning
And gazing starward I'll proclaim
On my word and on my name
That we'll stand above the ashes once again
And as the stars fell away
We still held onto that glow
And as for what the future holds
I know we may never know
All the ways in which the lights
Illuminate the ground below
And all the places we could never go
So I'll carry the weight
And I won't make a sound
And I'll remember that the world goes on beside me
And I'll bend under the weight
Never mend but never break
Till the sea inside me starts to split the seams
And if the stars come out again
We'll softly step aside and stare in wonder
And what can I hold onto
When everything aboard my ship goes under
I'm lost between the lines
And I'm half of who I am
Show me the fire and the flames that lie ahead
And if I lose my way again
Is it too late to let you know
That I was bound to wander home
Through the dust and through the glow
Of the remnants of the past
That light the way for us
To lay those wound up words to rest
And fuel the dreams that dawn for us instead
And we floated in fluorescent seas of stars
Now all the colours stand around us as we laugh
