lyrics
Months change to serve as naught but a reminder
Can’t return to crossed days on the calendar
The colour seems to fade away
The details no longer as sharp
Hopes confided a final time
Left now to reflect through different eyes
Intercalation
Leapt over
Clean slate
Lights out, there’s no one left, the crowd gets up and you’re
Left there, standing alone, no one to help guide you, the stage left
Empty just some old props, the dust has finally begun to settle
Down, you notice the cracks, these walls have been falling since they were built
With time, I am forgetting my mother tongue
Return, learn from crossed days on the calendar
Can’t return to crossed days on the calendar
The colour seems to fade away
The details no longer as sharp
Hopes confided a final time
Left now to reflect through different eyes
Intercalation
Leapt over
Clean slate
Lights out, there’s no one left, the crowd gets up and you’re
Left there, standing alone, no one to help guide you, the stage left
Empty just some old props, the dust has finally begun to settle
Down, you notice the cracks, these walls have been falling since they were built
With time, I am forgetting my mother tongue
Return, learn from crossed days on the calendar
