Andrew Reiger

Oh, little one are you lost on the run?
When the rain starts falling, I can't hear you calling
I saw you there, we were both unaware
Of the plots that were thickening, venomous and sickening

Coming down the spiral stairs
With the end of the world in you eyes
No one never could follow you there
The corridors crumble behind

I walked alone into places unknown
Where the wild creatures lay with the children all day
Then I could see, rising up from beneath
The blue flower was growing from under the ocean

Then the thunder pulled me away
And the lightning ripped through the sky
All around me, the world was so strange
Like a book I always wanted to write

In the unseen hand will pick me up
And take me far from home
Lead me through the dream, surround,
And bury me I'll lay there all alone
All alone

I felt the waves
Coming up from the graves
All the people who knew me
Were all moving through me

I trembled and shook
As I read from the book
Of that rolling, black water
That end demon's daughter

Coming down the spiral stairs
With the end of the world in you eyes
No one never could follow you there
The corridors crumble behind

Wake me up in the cold grey morning,
Wrap me up in a web of light.
We have all grown tired of waiting.
Hide away, come with me,
Words of love bursting free.
In the night we will fade;
Nothing will remain.
See the boats out there in the harbor,
See the smoke rising to the sky.
Paper dolls burning in the fire,
Burn away all of them inside.
Things will come, things will go,
Some will die in the row.
Flames will reach to the sky,
Bur cars keep rolling by.
Fell asleep like a tired army,
I am lost in the world tonight

Late at night I'm beginning to see
What the world has been hiding from me.
Laying out all the stones and the sand,
Hold 'em up in the palm of my hand.
Little pieces of something that was,
It fell apart and it turned into dust.
Worn away by the passing of time,
It's the one thing you cannot defy.
Paralyzed, I lie their in the dark;
All the time I wonder where you are.
New illusions appear every day,
It's getting harder to wish them away.
They're coming through a hole in the sky,
I don't know where you light up my mind.
All in all you wore me like the rain;
Paranoia conquers everything.
Up above theirs a light in the air,
In my mind I will follow you there.
Calling out to the world down below,
If they'll hear my I never will know.
Paralyzed, I lie their in the dark;
All the time I wonder where you are.
Coming home through the dark,
Fading out, fell apart;
Rising up, through the skin,
Can't escape, never will

The sky's turning gray, here comes the rain;
Lightning comes reaching through my windowpane.
Silver bright light pulls through the sky,
Pulls open the world 'till it lays there open wide.
And all the little things go crawling back inside.
Thoughts, they return, bend all around.
They show me the way to that place there on the ground.
Forget all I've seen, and I'll lay without a sound.
A whole world is waving goodbye;
A new lord takes over tonight.
All the places I have seen, all the things I've said,
Coming through my mind again, brings a sense of dread.
A dark world at night, lay deep and quiet
Comes wide awake in the middle of the day.
Hey, can you hear voices so clear?
Cutting like a blade, through the empty air of night;
Drifting into space, moving up into the sky.
A whole world is waving goodbye;
A new lord takes over tonight.
One more day I could not wait, of nothing more to see,
Wandering through the world again, you could not ever meet.
Over and over we drive down the road,
Freeing from the things that would pull us beneath.

I lay my eyes upon it, the dark world rising up at night.
I want enough to want it, I try to live in another life.
I've tried to look and see what everyone else sees,
I saw no face of God there staring back at me.
Something pulls me softly through the void,
The way back home will never be destroyed.
What lays there undiscovered, taking form in another shape?
From one thing to another, leaving all 'till the body breaks.
I tried to find the place where no one's ever been,
I always found the flag there waving in the wind.
All the time will slowly tick away,
I feel you coming closer everyday.
Spreading out like vines that grow across the cold concrete,
And then they spill on down the hill and crawl back underneath;
Like fingers reaching through the land to meet back at the sea:
And I will walk beside them endlessly.
Just like an empty bottle, a grey shape hanging off to the side.
Don't hide away tomorrow, come back, return to life.
I tried to look and see what everyone else sees.
I saw no face of God there staring back at me.
Something pulls me softly through the void,
The way back home will never be destroyed

Words are winding, towers of light were made for me.
Walking through them endlessly, I have seen you
Hiding in the dark; staring at the stars;
Window to Mars.
I'm not coming home today,
Icy hands will melt away.
We were always coming out of
The arms of love

Ghostly eyes so old, I can hardly see you;
Coming underground, digging through to feel you.
The echoes in the night tell me not to follow,
[Licking all the world(?)] is born again tomorrow.
The whole world is like a giant burning flame,
It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying
To find the way home.
I have seen you there, in the new mythology,
Walking down the road, blending with the scenery.
The treasure's all the world, falling from your fingers,
Riding in the dark, the feeling always lingers.
The whole world is like a giant burning flame,
It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying
To find the way home.
Sometimes you can't escape,
From the crushing weight, drags you on down to the bottom.
The faces and the names all just go away,
Buried down deep and forgotten.
Outside on the road, I heard the rain falling.
All the big black birds, they all came calling.
Early in the morning, [?] in the light.
Rolling through the days, flying through the night.
The whole world is like a giant burning flame,
It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying
To find the the way home

The night is over, the day is come;
You're growing older, no longer young.
You're never sleeping, you're wide awake,
You're getting older, plans you make.
Oh no, I never wanted to find out,
Oh I wish you hadn't fried out.
You've fallen under the dark waves,
You're in the work yard with all the slaves.
No one miss you when you're gone,
Out there lying the black [?]
I watched the fiend as he was forming,
Ten years of ugly little warnings.
And when you lay down, late in the night,
You don't think about it, you don't wonder why.
The days are long, and you cannot move.
You only see what you want to see.
You are never coming back,
Forever falling through the cracks.
I hope to see you once again,
We're all moving towards the end.
Oh no, I never wanted to find out,
Oh I wish you hadn't fried out.
And when you lay down, late in the night,
You don't think about it, you don't wonder why.
The days are long, and you cannot leave.
You only see what you want to see

I've waited here so long,
Counting through the hours.
I heard a strange sad song,
Coming from the towers.

I turned my head to follow,
The voices tumbling downward.
Worn away and hollow.
A window in the cloud there.

We lay down low,
Our world divides.
One part won't wake.
One comes alive.

I saw the demon's daughter,
I tried to make her smile.
We waded in the water.
She shivered like a child.

We swam out to the island.
I knew that I was dreaming.
The world below was silent.
The world above was screaming.

We lay down low,
Our world divides.
One part won't wake.
One comes alive.

Oh, the I heard the callin' out from below.
She took me by the hand and she never let go.
I could not feel the cold wind, I could not feel the thorns.
I could not tear my eyes from the light that drew me on.

The horse will ride the rider.
The slave has rule the master.
The web will trap the spider.
The father births the bastard.
The buildings are all falling.
The people don't remember.
The oceans are dissolving.
The forests burned to embers.

We lay down low,
Our world divides.
One part won't wake.
One comes alive.

We lay down low,
Our world divides.
One part won't wake.
One comes alive

Crumbling worlds hung over me,
Waiting along there underneath.
Nobody knocks upon the door,
Don't even know what we're waiting for.
Forever pulled from the back of beyond;
I'm just another come and gone,
Follow the sunlight from the sky,
Swallowed it all up in the life.
And then the world it seems to quiver and to quake,
We twist and turn away but never will escape.
Hide in the trees, the name I know;
Watch as the sky begins to glow.
Moving across the dusty earth,
Waiting for something to occur.
And then I hold it up, it's there for all to see.
All eyes come open, they're returning from the dream.
And then the dark descends, dripping from the sky.
As it comes pouring in blackness fills my eyes.
Just when the world was becoming clear,
Everything slowly disappeared.
Everyone wondered what was said,
Lying awake there in their beds.
And then the world it seems quiver and to quake,
We twist and turn away but never will escape.
And then the dark descends, dripping from the sky.
As it comes pouring in blackness fills my eyes

As I lay thinking of the things that I had seen,
Scattered across my weary mind.
The sun bursts through there in the corner of the sky,
The world lit up before my eyes.
Memories come crawling out once hidden deep inside,
They make me laugh, they make me tremble with desire;
They fill my head with dust, they fill my heart with lust.
You never know what you may find.
Oh, no, don't go.
Oh, no, don't go

Well I rode far away, on the dark black wave,
Nothing was the same when I woke up.
And I wrote out these words, as my circled on;
Sitting in my bright little corner.
Midnight crawls out, one more time.
I'm hiding out as the shadows climb.
Early in the morning I listen to the sounds
Of people walking up and down the street.
I hear a voice that sounds just like a girl I used to know.
She rode a horse and lived in a hotel room.
Midnight crawls out, one more time.
I'm hiding out as the church bells chime.
Come to the window and tap on the screen,
I'll climb out and walk in the rain.
The shallow waters that lap at our feet
Rise up a little every day.
And then late in the night, as I'm drifting off to sleep,
I picture you there on the big screen.
You were riding on a train, through the desert at night,
Leaning on your daddy's shoulder.
Midnight crawls out, one more time.
I'm hiding out as the shadows climb.
