Kuroi Ledge Lyrics & Chords By A Lot Like Birds

LyricsView Chords

[00:01.95]The cool air takes me back,
[00:08.08]Just for a moment, and I spend it all without realization.
[00:21.39]I have to go back. I have to go back.
[00:30.51]It's not fair.
[00:32.42]I wish that time would stop for me,
[00:35.92]Just this once, but it never will, so run it off.
[00:44.43]I'm still here.
[00:46.63]I know you're waiting for me past the doorway
[00:53.36]and if it's you that's haunting me, say something.
[00:57.76]If it's you that's haunting me, just speak.
[01:05.18]
[01:25.64]I've come this far with a different map in each of my hands.
[01:29.19]They're drawn completely from memory.
[01:31.51]One takes me home, one takes me nowhere in particular.
[01:35.47]I always seem to pick the path with all the shortcuts open and the lines and the circles more steadily drawn.
[01:42.37](I guess there's only one more way to go.)
[01:46.89]I always seem to say the things that I had promised I would leave unspoken
[01:51.64]And act surprised when they come tumbling out into the air and sounding wrong.
[01:56.22](We've all been way too far away from home.)
[02:01.05]I never thought of what would happen if I ever found the gate closed,
[02:05.60]Tethered in rusted thread and iced over blue and grey from the cold.
[02:10.32](It's time to break off all those chains of old.)
[02:15.72]But the gate holds, allowing entrance to the wind and smaller leaves and I am stuck now, homebound.
[02:24.78](I guess there's only one more way to go.)
[02:29.94]
[02:31.57]Can I turn back?
[02:33.10]Is it too late?
[02:34.79]Is there some place I belong?
[02:39.09]Is there any place to call a home?
[02:45.80]I guess there's only one real way to know.
[03:12.55]Is this the only way?
[03:27.90]As shallow as the water is, it swallows me.
[03:30.90]And I can't stop looking at the world around me solemnly.
[03:35.20]As we stand here in the fallen leaves,
[03:37.80]Will you promise me,
[03:39.55]Just promise me
[03:41.52]That no matter what the weather's like, you'll follow me?
[03:45.43]And no matter what I say, you'll take it honestly to heart?
[03:49.51]I've got a long way to go and if I do it alone I won't make it.
[03:57.24]
[04:35.00]The call of the void is coming from the balcony.
[04:42.45]"L'appel du vide."
[04:43.45]
[04:44.39]So now I let my fate take over
[04:47.56]And as I sink into the consequence below,
[04:52.07]This is how far we go.
[05:13.27]Face forward falling straight for the pavement,
[05:16.58]Mouth open catching death just to taste it.
[05:20.07]Twist my body to align with the stars,
[05:23.93]This is my favorite part.
[05:27.12]This is my favorite part:
[05:30.57]Suspended close to earth but very far.
[05:34.38]This is my favorite part.
[05:37.60]Once we touch the ground we forget who we are.
[05:41.69]I guess I finally had the courage to go away.
[05:45.30]The promises we made were made hollowly.
[05:49.07]Sometimes you'd reassure me we'd be okay.
[05:52.17]But you'd always leave.
