Borer Treetops - Canals Lyrics

Who are you kidding
Already know that all you see
Is just an eye trick
Canals that never were there
What were you thinking
You can't erase with just
A snap of your fingers
Illusions stuck deep inside
I tried to pull away from you
The umbra turned to light
And all the reasoning I do
It never fills the void
Not even half a planet could
Relieve my longing eyes
A revolution standing still
Returning to the past
What a fool I was
Trying to bend space and time
Keeping my eyes closed
Almost pretending I'm blind
Well it didn't work
Now you're back and I still fight
The surrounding woes
All the courage I won't find
I tried to pull away from you
The umbra turned to light
And all the reasoning I do
It never fills the void
Not even half a planet could
Relieve my longing eyes
A revolution standing still
Returning to the past
