Are you alone in these northern states Lost in chemicals and your grave fate Like stars they got lost in the cities shine Remember how you sewed yourself back with bailing twine And in this house you found All my painting that you could not read Those chemicals won't let you see All that I am and will not be But when there's nothing left in your star lit sky All lost in the summer heat of this empty July And let the catalyst of your aging shine Because it's the painter and the chemist who see the beauty in the absence of light Now on the bow you stand All left with nothing to show but your empty hands Now call out To those ghost they'll never show you land But when there's nothing left in your star lit sky All lost in the summer heat of this empty July And let the catalyst of your aging shine Because it's the painter and the chemist who see the beauty in the absence of light
