Forestfire Songtext
von David Usher

What if I were you and you were me?
Still can′t see the forestfire beyond the trees
Now I'm standing in a field of green
The colors burning far as I can see
What do you see?

On my tongue, the galaxies so small
Here, I′ll drink it down and watch the world dissolve
Now I'm pouring through the universe
And slipping through the endless stream of time
What would you find?

And I'm flying, floating on the wind again
Hoping it will drag me in
Can′t you see I′m laughing
Laughing at the consequence
Laughing at this circumstance
Don't you know by now?


Wave at all the faces, they go by
Faster that we live, the more we die
Now I′m crashing through the open door
And smiling in a most peculiar way
What would you say?

And I'm falling faster than the waterfall
Opened up and after all
Can′t you see, I'm drowning?
Right here in the open air
Wishing I could still go clear

Don′t you know by now? Don't you know by now?
This is what we are, this is what we are
Don't you know by now? Don′t you know by now?
This is what we are, this is what we are

Flying, floating on the wind again
I′m wishing that you'd drag me in
Can′t you see, I'm hoping?
Wishing I could see myself
Wishing I was someone else

But don′t you know by now? Don't you know by now?
This is what we are, this is what we are
Don′t you know by now? Don't you know by now?
This is what we are, this is what we are


This is what we are, this is what we are
This is what we are, this is what we are
This is what we are, this is what we are
