FMera This Was the Sound Lyrics

While earth’s slow ride was growing a bright new expanse
Blindly lost holding my head in my hands
I watch the sun,
I watch the shadows grow longer as the speed of me descent
improves and moves me around
This was the sound

This was the sound of sorrow
And if you’re wondering how I fell so far down,
just look around
Just look around

And you’ll hear lasting reflections
of all of these signs
Like lonely far soldiers beg hope for their eyes
and walk away
They walk away, I’m here calling you home
In the sullen night dusted by the scattered light
Now lifting, moving through a stolen gaze
like the swelling sound
My movements calculated in sharpened ways, nothing left to chance
One small mistake, swept away
He says, “Where did I go wrong?”
On fallen knees, no hope is how I was found
And this was the sound

This was the sound of sorrow
And if you’re wondering how I fell so far down,
just look around
Just look around
It’s all in the sound

Calling you home
All we know
It’s larger than life
Like the earth’s slow ride all we know
With nowhere to go
As life rises and falls
And noone knows why

All my strength, I held my ground
and then it all crashed down
And this was the sound

This was the sound of sorrow
And if you’re wondering how I fell so far down,
just look around
Just look around
This was the sound
Around
This was the sound of sorrow
