The World Retreats

by David O'Dowda

on The World Retreats (2015)

Hold back and
Fight among the stars
We could be the lucky ones
If we could only levitate
Fly low dear
Dance beneath the trees
If only we had oxygen
Then we'd begin to breathe

And we can watch
While the beauty takes its toll
And we can stop
While the world retreats

Lie low dear
Fix yourself a life
We could be the wealthy ones
If we could only [?]
These walls get closer by the night
Everything gets delicate
And everything in flight

And we can watch
While the beauty takes its toll
And we can stop
While the world retreats
