Mount Pleasant
Lyrics
The sky splits for me and contrails evaporate
For a high red moon
Saccharine love or blood and hate
Drawing lines between the skyline dots
A northern star for the southern stain
The long grass taken by the estate
The big rock visit or the astral plane
Through wild waters and hands clasped
The tide decides the time we have
Put aside the mind to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
The railroad splits for me and crossroads exacerbate
My reluctance to choose
Between fields and fanes for a place to lay
The stolen lead and the grounded slate
All across the great divide and these greater plains
Like wildfires we'll take the land
And everything that it has
Leaving no one left to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
Scaling walls a heart in half
We saw two swans flying and thought of Mark
Relive my childhood on the asphalt yard
We thought living would be easy but it's sure been hard
But tonight, it's alright
It'll all look different in the daylight
Through wild Winters we'd lose the ampersand
The tide decided the life we'd have
With no mind left to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
Like wild horses we'll grace the land
And tire until we no longer stand
Leaving nothing left to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
I wanted this
I needed this
There's a feeling and a reason
It's deeper than the river bed
And meant more than we'd ever meant
We'd rest our legs
We'd rest our heads
And wish that we'd never met
But I wanted this
