Lyrics for Fear of the unknown and The Blazing Sun

Of all the wires It was the wires That were the wires for empathy That we loved Beyond All The others. Of all the wires It was the wires That were the wires for empathy that We loved beyond all the others. The sound of that much life Streaming in; ghosts made of smoke, and paper trees And dogs travel back and forth between rocks Between fear of the unknown and The blazing sun (Though there is stillness I can feel your heart beat) (Though I can't see you I can hear a sound) So tell your secrets to parents (Through the veil I feel your hand near me) To your lost father and to his father and to his father (Reaching through to the other side) In this conversation itself, just the substitute for w-- (Reaching through to the other side) --whistling Words, rattle (Reaching through to the other side) And puffs of air I feel it
