Lyrics
[Verse 1] Empty swings
Creak beneath a heavy sky
Rain falls on plastic leaves
Glass walls rising high above our heads
The concrete grows
Searching for a patch of sun
Moving like clockwork hands
Staring at a screen instead of skin
[Chorus] We're spinning round a digital sun
Warming our faces on a blue light wire
Trying to catch a glimpse of someone
Running from a slow cold fire
Burning up the world
Turning out the world
Tearing down the world
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh
Lost in the glow
No where to go
Lost in the glow
[Verse 2] Sifting sand
Finding fragments of a name
Forgotten in the fast current
Rushing toward a ledge we cannot see
Brick by brick
Feeding all the hungry steel
Heavy hearts under metal wheels
Crushing every flower in the yard
Building towers out of playing cards
[Chorus] We're spinning round a digital sun
Warming our faces on a blue light wire
Trying to catch a glimpse of someone
Running from a slow cold fire
Burning up the world
Turning out the world
Tearing down the world
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh
Lost in the glow
No where to go
Lost in the glow
[Bridge] Maybe it's the season
Maybe it's the salt in our eyes
Maybe it's the silence
Heavy as the stones we carry
I breathe, I wait, I worry
Locked in a room of smoke
[Chorus] We're spinning round a digital sun
Warming our faces on a blue light wire
Trying to catch a glimpse of someone
Running from a slow cold fire
Burning up the world
Turning out the world
Tearing down the world
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh
Lost in the glow
No where to go
Lost in the glow
[Outro] Tearing down
Looking for a way back
Down to the soil
To the water
To the light
Turning out the world
Turning out the world
