Transience (Acoustic in Lille)

[Verse 1]
Istanbul, today, you said on the phone but I am barely awake
You've been away for too long, my love, I've gone strange
White birds falling down from the sky into the riverbed filled with ink
It swallowed up all light and I will be snowed in as of tonight
I haven't been outside for days

[Verse 2]
If they're looking to be entertained, I wonder who they came for
Now, everything I have left is on this stage
We load the car and drive off to any goddamn place
Last night in my sleep, I climbed out the window
Saw a red tree glowing, floating in the air
Oh, I keep the thought of you a flame

[Chorus]
How will I survive in this world gone mad?
There's no way now to find you, to find you
No human touch can bring me there
Now, music takes me places, oh, just like you, just like you

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
How will I survive in this world gone mad?
There's no way now to find you, to find you
No human touch can bring me there
Now, music takes me places, oh, just like you, just like you
