lyrics

we bleed like the sun
messy, hot, and fast
you, our golden child out there
us, an icarus to laugh at

baby bird, adrift in vacant winds
buoyed by the unknown while we choke and drown and sink
our buildings burn; did the fires make it in?
transmitting now; is there anyone listening?

astronaut can you feel the walls cave closer
they're getting closer

in the light of the shuttle, the world’s too calm
a gentle reminder of a home that was
scared of the answer, but silence kills
i’ll take anything over the chance no one’s left

(transmitting now; is there anyone listening?)

when i'm gone, will anybody notice?
would you notice?

before i go i’d like to bleed
to feel anything at all

i’m not afraid
don’t feel anything at all

(anything’s bearable in the end as long as we’ve got a way to look forward to, forward to)

i’m not afraid
to feel anything at all
