Orphans Lyrics - Modern Guilt - Beck

Think I'm stranded but I don't know where 

I got this diamond I don't know how to shine 

In the sun where the dark winds wail 

And these children leave their rulers behind 

As we cross ten leagues from a rubicon 

The matchsticks for my bones 

If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive 

We can learn to leave these burdens to burn 

Cast out these creatures of woe 

Who shatter themselves 

Fighting the fire with your bare hands

Now my journey takes me further south 

I want to hear what the blind men sing 

With their fossils and their gypsy bones 

I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone 

And how can I make new again 

What rusts every time it rains 

And the rain it comes and floods our lungs 

We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake 

Photos 

If I wake up and see my maker coming 

With all of his crimson and his iron desire 

We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing 

To be loved or destroyed from a void 

To a grain of sand in your hand
