The Midnight Year

Welcome back to your hometown
We're promising we won't let you down anymore
Now you know the world's so strange
While we said settle down and change your name
Once even you said this is where you belong
But then you said you were right and I was wrong
You can never retain a life
It just disappears until it dies at the end
No one living really goes underground
They fly in the air and they travel around
They land on the moons and they drink in the bars
But their troubles stay with 'em wherever they are

Now we're moving to a place where the mysteries end
There're no houses on the hills just some wires for your friends
Channeled down hospital doors
They apricot and burn the last free ward
Seeing how we can be
Being how we could see the light
Turn it on the other side
Where the basement's narrow and we'll get it right
Like only we can know

Do you like the things that we've become?
Is it always just the skin and bone?
From out the skirt you've blown
Keep a color of the E O Mai for me
Trade the ladder for a tree
Don't let them tell you who to be

And in the win and new lights are drawn
Never knew you needed anyone to help you down the street
Just when you thought you knew you'd just begun
Was not expects becomes another one
To save you from the day
