"Halcyon Days" lyrics

When it starts hailing down
We'll see the sky crack open wide as we dance under the clouds
Painting canvases with images of idle faces we all used to know
High then low from dusk until dawn
Until I you've got nothing left
Soon they'll know, they'll always go
Horizon's flashing red as the sun sets

With hills flat and barren blue
I wonder what we can do
When this world just follows you
Remember every day holds something new

Those who wander want to wait for halcyon days
Because we still need to clean the slate of our old ways
So I can be there one day
You put me on a pedestal and watched me grow
You made it seem like you had sat me on a throne
Peddling pictures in my mind
The candles burn out over time
I've never seen a sky before where reaching was too far high

They ask me "are you gone?" while they are undone

I am crashing down, my lungs are failing me
Not breathing, not making a sound

As I feel the honey drape me in its dripping grip
Feed petty peddlers with the sweetest synth
You're making bank as you sway away and swing your hips
Making bank as you sway away and swing your hips
