Turning Away (Album Version)

Blackbird Raum - Turning Away

above a frozen plain a dirty cloud is rearing up

and we wolves can only watch

of all these falling lights the brightest ones are scarring up

and scars you cannot change

all of us still standing must learn to leap up without landing

and quicken on the wind

when they're calling

lets not follow

then you'll see us

turning away

can't hold up this world alone, can't tear down this world alone

never find a ******* home this my skin is what I own

broken glass and broken legs have no cup

with which to beg no shelter from the caustic rain sidewalk sleepers gutter lain

and what matters now is not myself its something else

its to hold the candle still
