Ali Kamali - Best of Us lyrics

When he wakes up from his sleep They realize he's gone too deep There's nothing left but empty seats And hollow skulls with no teeth Every now and then I see a sign of hope And I try to keep it all together Losing just a little bit of rope That's tied to the end of rotting dream The tide is high and the moon is red The best of us are left for dead Well the bridges burn in the amber fire And there's no way back and no desire The buildings have all collapsed And all the saints are dressed as rats The nomads have nowhere to go When the darkness starts to take control Every now and then I see a sign of hope And I try to keep it all together Losing just a little bit of rope That's tied to the end of rotting dream But everybody knows that the only way to go Is south of the border into places unknown Where the stars meet the sands and the man Is burning bright Every now and then I see a spark of light That flickers in the shadows of the tainted minds While they're slipping through the fingers Of the man in the silver suit But everybody knows that the price was pretty low As we sold what was left of our occupied homes In exchange for a grave on a mountain full of gold You can run you can hide But in the end its all one ride So we take and we maim While we beg for another day This is all that we are This is all that we are This is all that we are This is all that we are
