 Verse 1: (0:14)


under the overpass
				
way out in fairlee they were saying
	     (*)
i'm convinced

the city has its cards
                              
a fuel-less fire will always fade
  
keep your hands warm


 Bridge 1: (0:42)

				
lock all the shutters when the wind returns
					   
brought with it are convictions considered arguable


 Chorus: (0:56)


it turns

in time

reflects 

your eyes

 
 [ Repeat intro ]


Verse 2: (same as Verse 1) (1:25)

beyond the critical
beyond the highway is not safe
cars move slow
against a backdrop fades
an insulated formless shape
falling snow builds


Bridge 2: (same as chorus 1) (1:53)

there is a bare light that could catch your eyes
had the whole place on its feet rethink what is valuable


Chorus 2: (same as chorus 1) (2:07)

it turns
in turn
reflects 
the light


 Ending: (2:35)

   (*) (x4)



in a derailment

article claiming

that you're not fit and you don't have 

names not worth naming


at that is something

right in the center

you see yourself and you don't know

at least you got mentioned
