Landslide

Looking at every person
As if they are you
Ghostlike
Fingers down my spine

Now we hang by a thread
And I can't help but play with it
You scratch that itch
If nothing else, you'd believe yourself

Words are so deceiving
(Holding you)
Can't seem to stop myself 
(Holding me)
Holding onto everything
(And the earth will swallow us all)
Ferns on walls and ceilings
(Can we stop)
Find things to break my fall
(Just to see)
Holding onto everything
(How to survive in a landslide)

Early on in the evening
And I'm giving up again
Drink it in and you'll taste why
The daily defeat rattles by

In search of that heavenly noise
This is all we've given ourselves to
Did we ever have a choice?
Or are we just passing through? 

Words are so deceiving
(Holding you)
Can't seem to stop myself 
(Holding me)
Holding onto everything
(And the earth will swallow us all)
Ferns on walls and ceilings
(Can we stop)
Find things to break my fall
(Just to see)
Holding onto everything
(How to survive in a landslide)
