Stand Apart

Hey how about we set aside
Everything
What has everything done for us
We remake our names into formless shapes
All fading and transient
And stand arm in arm in the streets
Indifferent and immovable
Until somebody says it aright
Until somebody says our names

Will we always stand apart like austere trees
Of course the fault is mine (oh carry on)
And will we always stand apart still reaching
All blame of course is mine
But roots still intertwine

And hey do you feel that way
That the light is cast strange and unnatural
As if the trappings of stage were just out of sight
Just beyond reach
And so to act in any way is just to react
To that strange force that may not be
Say with me that it may not be

Will we always stand apart like austere trees
Of course the fault is mine (oh carry on)
And will we always stand apart still reaching
All blame of course is mine
But roots still intertwine

Will we always stand apart like austere trees
Of course the fault is mine (oh carry on)
And will we always stand apart still reaching
All blame of course is mine
But roots still intertwine
