Lyrics
[Verse 1] When you call, when you call my name Breath fills a shut-down space Mouths were opened here once There was a band on Hear the buzzing of the empty halls Or all rooms that are empty at any point in time, sigh Ah [Verse 2] Once you played in empty bars Performing for the beer tap and the pool tables Nobody giving you their card Because you have potential Almost nothing interrupting ideas Jittering in the jiggers They sound like the way to another [Verse 3] Now you go to thе afterlife You've hеard good things about it But the embers are cooling And the spirits are just names plus one [Chorus] And you see tagged-over posters with faces out of frame Boarded up windows that watch you walk away All things abandoned are following your steps Associating from space to emptiness (Trees, sticks, rocks) Tagged-over posters with faces out of frame (Bamboo leaf, bamboo leaf again, and the branch, the branch, the pine cones) Boarded up windows that watch you walk away (And the birds in the distance, gum, gum, gum, cigarette butts) All things abandoned are following your steps (Candy wrapper, a button, a slug, shoes came here, and here, and here) Associating from space to emptiness (Someone once lay down here, but the trees, the trees) [Post-Chorus] And the pine cones And the sticks, and the rocks, and the bamboo leaf The bamboo leaf again And then the branch, the branch, the branch, the branch (When you are sleeping, time glows) Pine cones and the birds in the distance Gum, gum, gum Cigarette butts Candy wrapper A button, a slug Shoes came here, and here, and here Someone once lay down here But the trees And the pine cones
