lyrics

since we were young, we've watched the skies
searching for wisdom, we prayed for signs
but in the silence, were we defined
alone enlightened, but left blind
to all good sense, and all good faith
that good things come to those who wait

the space between, the silence was
all we ever knew
so I am terrified based on the premise that
if someone's calling out then someone's listening

so haunt the dark, with patient ear
counting the stars as they disappear
but be wary of what you've heard
because you don't know what you'll learn
what if the truth is best left unknown?
because the truth is that we're not alone

the time has come, the message said
let's speak of many things
cabbage and kings, shoes and ceiling wax
come little oysters, come

it's alice and the looking glass
we didn't see
the walrus and the carpenter
the great deceit

the oysters walk
the walrus talks to them
the carpenter just watches
but when it comes
that they should leave that night
they can't because
they'd eaten every one

they'd eaten every one

A Dallas Welcome recommends:

Black Mass Hysteria
by Knives Out!

Members of Dog Fashion Disco, Polkadot Cadaver and Nothingface. A little bit more 'normal' than some of those bands, but all the cooler because of their other influences. The second album is also out! A Dallas Welcome
