a distant thunder
little feat
give my best to those i care for
with friends a simple nod will do
i bow to those who've come and gone before me
been a little bit good and a little bit sad
let the dirt and dust fall where it may
a distant thunder and it takes my breath away
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
measured distance through the heartbeats
measured time holds all my beliefs
these shotgun visions are all i've ever lived with
a scattered mind from a reckless youth
a distant thunder and it takes my breath away
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
took convention for a rough ride
a genius under glass set adrift
like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance
the rivers i cross the memories i keep
a distant thunder and it takes my breath away
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
i feel like i'm slippin' under
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
of all those times that i've turned and looked away
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
