Felix Riebl Twisted Line song lyrics
Was it the twisted line or straightened hook?
The Earth or just the hand that shook?
The flash or the forgotten stare?
Unconscious or just unaware?
We realised but couldn't think
We told the lie but couldn't wink
We crossed them worse than a crucifix
While skimming stones we watched it sink
I saw my eyes look back at me
I heard the sound my ears were meant to hear
My face was like a sundial half in shadow
Staring over at the figure standing where
I should have been
Remembering the sun forgets
Oblivious the ground regrets
In vacancy the flowers unfurl
In memories the clouds reset
We realised but couldn't link
We saw the light but couldn't blink
We stole the hours but not the time
Whose echo calls ‘What's yours is mine!'
I saw my eyes look back at me
I heard the sound my ears were meant to hear
My face was like a sundial half in shadow
Staring over at the figure standing where
I should have been Oh Oh Oh . . .
So burn if you want to burn
Burn if you want to burn
Burn if you want to burn
But give this place a rest
And turn if you want to turn
And turn if you want to turn
And turn if you want to turn
But give this house a rest
So where to now? I ask myself
You stranger that I knew so well
My heart is strained and I can't tell
Which way's heaven, and which is hell
Was it the twisted line or history?
The mind or just the mind we see
The liar or the one deceived
Do I know you? Or is-it you know me?
When all our eyes become the sea
When all our ears hear sounds we didn't hear
Then our faces make a sundial half in shadow
Staring over at the figures standing where
We should have been Oh Oh Oh . . .
