The skyline fills my camera
as I try to figure out what it is
that lets us build up great cities
then one day watch them disappear
my phone has been ringing
each call a part of the countdown
as your lungs fill with water
and that goodbye sun
slows between the trees
have you gone clear?
I hear my camera lense click
it captures then suffocates
what breathed a second ago
will now be living on in a frame
and I'll put it on the shelf
between the flowers and the dust
and let it fill the room
like footsteps
on wooden floors
have you gone clear?
I look down at the city
from the top of Mont-Royal
it's all postcards and dump trucks
both keep us feeling clean
and the banks hold up the river
my heart holds up my skin
and the snow that's coming soon
will leave us once again
now you've gone clear
What do I say? I love Amanda. She's inspirational, not just her music but her whole personality! This album is fun, serious, heartwarming and inspirational spacehawk.mp3
