I Know It's Real Songtext

von Raised By Swans

Some distant part of me remembers
Where the missile silos are concealed
The place all endings are imagined
I know it's real
I know it's real

But there must be time left
To confuse the coordinates
Where the whirling birds nest

But how can i climb when i'm tethered from below
A silhouette cut from a glowing window
The other life i'm letting go

Call
I won't turn around
I faced us backwards even then
So this can't be happening now
It's just an echo's end
Waterfall
Can i be renamed
The old underground's been locked and sold
Songbirds bursting up from the snow

Here
Time returns
The days and nights you stole

Can't i have just one kiss
Was it always so dangerous
Was it all that first hit
And the fallout that preys on the sound
Of the all clear

I sing a few songs to a tattered atmosphere
But more and more
I disappear

Call out
I won't turn around
All those telegrams were sent
From a phantom finding now
And if not now
When?
Waterfall
Can i be redeemed
Blood vessels drinking up the cold
Songbirds bursting up from the snow

Here
Time returns
The days and nights you stole

The valley's beautiful tonight
I watch the stars take up
Their shields
And no one else needs to believe it
I know it's real
I know it's real
