La Jetée Lyrics by Oakhands

The Shadow of Your Guard Receding

2020

When the sun kissed your skin through the windshield
And the trees fluttered by just like birds
If we lost all the self in importance
We could drown in the singing of spheres

And I have read that all the people in my head would just forget
They just forget
But I have seen all the faces in between your eyelids go

Now I have written down the lines that made me blind
Consider structures as a mist when capability dismissed
Action, action took part on its own
Skin drove dry through the shaking in my bones that won’t belong
Second sights seem to miss the gravity of this situational distress
Two third eyes for an eye in trying times will leave me blind

Oh I regret all those times that I have loved and then just left
And then just left
When we connect you make everything around me disappear
Oh let me teach you how to knit again from scratch and broken ribs
To gather scattered corn into one mutual sheet
But I will stay here wondering if I’m the only one to ponder
All those thoughts and notes on scattered sheets and

Melodies, dance with me
Flowerhead, are you blooming yet

Let me have another

Put out all the small fires and have a lesson in clichés
From what I´ve learnt
To what I’m told
My house will burn down all the same
So grab your shaking hand
And tear this body limb from limb
Cause all the saviors sleep at crosses blind
To their self inflicted sin

I’ve got two songs stuck in my head at the same time
I don't know how to sing along I hear the notes but sing them wrong

I know that I’m not human at all

Give me anything so this voice falls silent
Give me anything, I’m tired of trying
To shut it up, it shuts me down
All thoughts in my head have just turned inside out
I’m not anyone who you know
But I spread silence wherever I go
