The Mountain

We woke up on the mountain Air was clear, sun was shining All we could see was silver And so we started thinking Then when we came off the mountain All of the lanes were static All expressions were frozen Over each other's traffic Second time the dusk was setting Streets filled with different people All of them tired and distant Some of them tried to know us We had carried our instruments And hid behind our features Laughed and joked and hoped that they'd have They'd have something to show us At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain We went back to the mountain They spoke a different language A mess of walls and fences The mountain we created Our faces amongst the landed Except that we were nameless Only inherited stories Since we fell off the mountain Then the mountain came between us And took away the buildings We were the half remembered The only two remaining Then we knew we were the mountain You said "I'll do this for you" Covered what we had broken Forgot about the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain At sea in the cities Alien in the suburbs Adrift on peripheries Wake up back on the mountain
