Ether lyrics

While you slept it off 
Your empire was lost 
Now we're not your sons 
Your old silver tongue 
It don't work too well now 

We wandered off 
With our heads nice and soft 
But we were still numb 
And we burned in the sun 
And got torn to pieces 

I walked across from eyes 
And scratched my name into the sky 
The things beneath my floorboards fly 
I'll never let them out 
And all my teeth are down at my feet 
And all of the blood comes in a flood 
Start counting sheep 

Then I fall asleep again 
And by myself I'm wondering 
A forest made of skeletons 
Of people I once knew 
And all their spines are perfectly aligned 
Like cold power lines 

My feet left the ground 
And I floated off and got lost 
Now this ain't my home 
There's no warmth in these bones 
Just a mock up to help me pretend I'm sleeping 

While we slept it off 
All the money was lost 
Now we can't stand up 
Yeah, the blood in our guts 
It just weighs us down now 
We'll crawl along 
Despite what goes wrong 
'Cause we're not that young 
Takes more than your guns to scare us off now 

My feet left the ground 
And I floated off and got lost 
Now my house is far below 
It's buried in snow 
And I can't see my footprints anymore; they're too small 
I drift through the clouds with my heart in my mouth 
I'm not stopping 
Now the Earth is far behind 
I'm lost in the sky with my eyes closed 
I'm just waiting for my air to run out
