Forestfire - Lyrics by David Usher


Lyrics
What if I were you and you were me

Still can't see the forest fire beyond the trees

Now I'm standing in a field of green

The colours burning far as I can see

What do you see


On my tongue the galaxies so small

Here I'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve

Now I'm pouring through the universe and slipping
through the endless stream of time

What would you find


And I'm flying floating on the wind again

Hoping it will drag me in

Can't you see i'm laughing

Laughing at the consequence

Laughing at this circumstance

Don't you know by now


Wave at all the faces they go by

Faster that we live the more we die

Now I'm crashing through the open door and smiling in a most peculiar way

What would you say


And I'm falling faster than the waterfall

Opened up and after all

Can't you see I'm drowning

Right here in the open air

Wishing I could still go clear

Don't you know by now

Don't you know by now

This is what we are

This is what we are

Don't you know by now

Don't you know by now

This is what we are

This is what we are


Flying floating on the wind again
I'm wishing that you'd drag me in

Can't you see I'm hoping Wishing I could see myself

Wishing I was someone else

But don't you know by now

Don't you know by now

This is what we are

This is what we are

Don't you know by now

Don't you know by now

This is what we are

This is what we are

This is what we are

This is what we are

This is what we are

This is what we are

This is what we are

This is what we are...
