Future Reflections - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

And there were future reflections

On the face and the hands

On a green-colored island

On a primitive man

It was the future reflecting

It felt familiar but new

A street was missing a building

The kids had something to do

There was a feeling the spirit was leaving

Red like a marker

So my tribe, with my knife

Cut the heart from a lonely life

I saw patterns on floorboards

Deep in the dust was a leader

Someone was walking on floorboards

Turning from oak into cedar

He can assess the situation

I wrapped a string around my finger

Into the forest with the young ones

I don't expect to be a winner

But as long as you feel it, I'm a believer

My heart is phosphor

Sea rolls and death tolls

Break the surface, don't break my bones

Off of the trail and off of your hands and

Onto a new plan

Is the cost to stay lost

Forever in an empty skin, pale and thin?

If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell

But pieces come together for some reason, just as well

Their guns couldn't see us, there's a sea outside my door

And one day I'll appreciate the rush of blood and the washed-out beat of the shore

And remember what it felt like

To be alone

Sitting in the sunlight

All alone
