do you see the horizon?
you're more than half-way there
you don't have to look all that far
because everywhere the ground touches the sky
and everytime you speak our worlds collide
does this picture seem more clear with distance?
what are you waiting for?
the time you kill me?
slow down
be kind to me
if every word you said
would paint the sky,
would the color red spell hate or desire
tell me something doves can fly their wings through
i want to feel the breeze upon my back
when you provide the love with every breath
then i know that its true
what are you waiting for?
the time you kill me?
slow down,
be kind to me
cold hands and blood-shot eyes
the kind that pull me down
behind what you see
cuz my soul waits
its not for sale
well i know how sorrow can kill
i've seen it work
from a few words
and the branding comes too easy
ya the stronger and the further i get
i can see what's fragile
and the whole world
ya the whole world is too blind to see you
what are you waiting for
the time you kill me?
slow down,
be kind to me
cold hands and blood-shot eyes
the kind that pull me down
behind what you see
what you see
what you see
what you see
