[ti:Breathing In Backyards] [ar:Lazarus] [al:Like Trees We Grow Up To Be Satellites (The Backwards America)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Breathing In Backyards - Lazarus [00:23.19]The elliptical patterns they erupt into fragments [00:28.24]And the water drips gently upon my face [00:32.54] [00:33.29]Off the trees in the backyard [00:36.06]I'm watching the birds fly [00:38.68]But they don't take notice as I quietly sing [00:43.08] [00:43.65]This isn't my home [00:46.24]I'm still yet to find one [00:48.75]For a moment I seem to fall into this place [00:53.65]Where my parents they sleep soundly [00:56.46]They silently dream of the comfort of moments [01:01.38]And the haunting of fate [01:04.02]I've returned [01:05.02]From a journey from the vastness of highways [01:09.23]All the sunsets and forests running through my brain [01:13.89]Now I look to the ocean where my breathen have spoken [01:19.54]And I refill my voice on the salty winds [01:23.63] [01:24.28]I am halfway to thinking [01:26.95]I'll go back to the city [01:29.43]And I'll see all my friends [01:31.89]Upon the broken streets [01:34.22] [01:34.77]It's been two years since you left [01:37.35]It's been the coldest of winters [01:39.73]As I take out your photo from inside my coat [01:44.56]So don't listen to me [01:47.22]I'm afraid of this house [01:49.85]I have listened carefully [01:52.43]But there was no healing sound [01:55.00]I've put my thoughts in one place [01:57.58]But they have scattered about [01:59.95]And so I chase after them [02:02.52]Until I feel something strong [02:05.10]Oh Caroline you will be [02:07.80]An exception too fine [02:10.31]If I make up your face [02:12.94]I will make up my mind [02:15.37]But this is surely a dream [02:17.91]And I'm certain you'll fly [02:20.57]When I wake up today [02:23.03]I'll have your name in my eyes [02:26.10] [02:46.35]It's the friction of engines [02:48.81]That puts strength in my fingers [02:51.32]So I press until meaning makes my voice appear [02:55.47] [02:56.35]I'll go see Jeremiah [02:58.97]At his house on the island [03:01.53]And together we'll tower over everything [03:05.84] [03:06.41]We put our words in the soil [03:09.15]So perhaps they will splinter [03:11.69]And emerge on the day when we cannot sing [03:16.01] [03:16.71]Of what the truth has forgotten [03:19.63]Blood will certainly spoil [03:22.09]From it's ashes another will take it's place [03:26.36] [03:27.25]Oh Caroline it will surely be soon [03:32.20]And I will feel your breath [03:34.63]And we'll stare at the moon [03:37.20]Until it burns our eyes [03:39.79]And we are selfishly blind [03:42.35]And with our stolen love [03:44.79]We'll find our way through the night [03:47.54]Oh Caroline you are everything true [03:52.62]I want to lose my self [03:55.08]In everything that you do [03:57.74]Oh Caroline you are the sweetest of fruit [04:02.81]And when I walk alone [04:05.39]I am walking with you [04:08.00]Oh Caroline you are the sweetest of fruit [04:13.10]And when I walk alone [04:15.57]I am walking with you
