Landslides

And the night, the night, it was lying around
On the ground
At the feet of the man on the corner
Who's watching it rise through the cracks
He's the kind who would always be skirting around
The meaning of life
In the night he would wait till the dawn
For his dreams and the stars to align
Colourblind to the signs that were hiding in plain sight
He was deaf to the morning that was closing in on the night

For once in a lifetime, he made for the sea
Looked at the ebb tide
Exposing the shape of his fears
And all of his wild dreams, all of his tears
Coming in landslides
They piled up and buried him deep

Slowly sinking, a bottle was shimmering green
As he dived
Ain't it easier to let go
Than keep hanging on for dear life?
There's nothing that solemn when hitting rock bottom
You'll only be gone and forgotten
Sinking slowly he didn't take notice
That forces were pulling him up

For once in a lifetime, he smiled at the sea
Looked at the ebb tide
Washing away all his fears
And all of his wild dreams, all of his tears
Falling in landslides
Coming apart at the seams

Cut to the scene when their eyes locked in
On the light
Pouring in like a flash flood
In the streets

It drowned the heartache
It cleared the pathways
To where they will be finally safe and feel

Out of the landslide
The landslide
Out of the landslide
They came
