The Seer by Skyway Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some bright nation built a network of roads
Taught their children law and codes
Sent them outward through the pouring rain
And when they came home they were strange
Now they're getting older
[Verse 2]
Check the cabin in between two rows
Underneath a pile of clothes
Is a box of letters I once wrote
To Katherine, a long time ago
I was a diferent kind of man
[Verse 3]
I might've told about the coming end times
All that darkness, how the light
Brotherhood might save us, I don't know
I used to hear a lot of songs in my head
But I've forgot how they go
[Chorus]
Help me, I've been breathing in
Finally, I breath out an older man
The world is passing me by
And I'm lying on the floor
Can you hear me lord?
I've been here before
[Verse 4]
I've been wanderin' 'round town for days
Trying to fight the old malaise
Shells and antlers, I've been sleeping on
Every night to prepare for the war
Called the coming end times
[Verse 5]
It don't come playing no calliope song
S'not a dream and then it's done
It burns like hell and lasts real long
So pull the dagger out of your arm
And go get back on the road
[Chorus]
Help me, I've been breathing in
Finally, I breath out an older man
The world is passing me by
[Chorus]
Help me, I've been breathing in
Finally, I breath out a younger man
Corporeal pain don't reach me anymore
I'm rising from the floor
Ascending from the world
A lord, a lord, a lord, a lord, a lord
[Bridge: spoken interlude]
I see it
It rose above our town
It crashed through the night on the ground
And in the dark the moon struck, blinded out of sight
They all [?] through the night
They stayed till the pain was all gone
It was there
[You should see me now?]
[Verse 6]
Moonlight shaking on pariah canyon
Chase the shadows before dawn
Speak the words that bring the song
Sing them once to the void
And fall into the hole
[Outro]
'Cause someday soon we will shed our load
Lay beneath a pile of clothes
The old white light will beam us back to the host
Till then hold my hand
Tell me I'm not a ghost
Some bright nation built a network of roads
Taught their children law and codes
Sent them outward through the pouring rain
And when they came home they were strange
Now they're getting older
[Verse 2]
Check the cabin in between two rows
Underneath a pile of clothes
Is a box of letters I once wrote
To Katherine, a long time ago
I was a diferent kind of man
[Verse 3]

All that darkness, how the light
Brotherhood might save us, I don't know
I used to hear a lot of songs in my head
But I've forgot how they go
[Chorus]
Help me, I've been breathing in
Finally, I breath out an older man
The world is passing me by
And I'm lying on the floor
