[Chorus] The white, the bright, the ever-blinding light Cuts through these almost night–time sights and sounds I hear and see Sat on tiles and staring past the trees The warmth that makes a house a home radiates up my rooftop perch It stops the chill of winter getting to my bones, and so I sit and search I search up top, to the quick and readily reddening sky I search down low, to the houses lain amongst where grass is dry As I search, I question halos and the dead Question what life is and the end The point of bitterness and friends And though I don't know what I search for on this house atop a hill The city shows by lighting what happens when the day is swallowed up and killed [Verse] The people down below are ants Living in their stone and metal hive to feed their queen of industry Oh, how I hope that’s never me I see them living out of matchbox cars that blow forward in the breeze of time to create history As famous ants that rose from nothing just to dissolve back to nothing in their sleep I watch this grey expanse of city And I think of something witty To sustain my brain, so I can sleep all undisturbed and unperturbed Until the morning comes to take my pulse and drain the ulcer of responsibility Questioning life as it questions me [Bridge] An old ant climbs up scaffolding Battling his aging frame Until he sits upon the rooftop where the carving bears his name He spots old remembered features The skylight arcs out of the tiled frame Like it wasn't quite meant to be there Oh, no he never meant for it to be there [Chorus] And though the white, the bright, the ever-blinding light Cuts through these almost daytime sights and sounds he hears and sees Sat on tiles and staring past the trees This old man is me, breathing in the home I miss dearly No one lives here now, so it's just me, myself, and a rooftop in the trees
