Public Transit - Weights Too Heavy

If I work with all my body
If I work with all my soul
Could I grasp a hint of glory
Or a stake in rightful gold?
Will I find what I'm after?
Could I finally feel alive?
With my eyes blue with treasure
Could I finally say goodbye?

Hatch a thought to burn and light my way
Fledgling spark, glows and fades away
I beat my head 'til I see stars
Suns they rise, with songs of birds of prey
Cosmic arcs, they change but stay the same
I beat my head, then it's gone

Run, run, run, chase the warm weather
Always out of reach
Run, run, run, catch the cool zephyr
Leading between your feet
One by one, the fancies fall faster
Cowed down from their knees
Vanity in all but eternal
Life without cause in front of you

For the sake of speculation
There's a city in my head
For beholding all oppression
And the none to comfort them
Could I drink past the sorrow
A draught of numb Eden
Or return all I've borrowed
A void that ever deepens

Hatch a thought to burn and light my way
Fledgling spark, glows and fades away
I beat my head 'til I see stars
Suns they rise, with songs of birds of prey
Cosmic arcs, they change but stay the same
I beat my head, then it's gone

Run, run, run, chase the warm weather
Always out of reach
Run, run, run, catch the cool zephyr
Leading between your feet
One by one, the fancies fall faster
Cowed down from their knees
Vanity in all but eternal
Life without cause in front of you

In a perfect world we're listening
Out and in, the Lord is breathing
But in my head the hum is pounding
False gods scream seductive yearning
With a smile, I trick my right hand
Right hand man, hail, Saint Self-Seeking
With a spark of exaltation
We praise things, we praise destruction
Ah, ah, ah!

Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Crush the things we hold beside Thee
Lift in us an eerie silence
To know our place in boundless violence
Holy Jesus, weights too heavy
Choke our hearts, we cry for mercy
With a spark of exaltation
"Only You" our mouths are singing
Ah, ah, ah!
