I'll Be Gone

The air leeches the gold out of everything elusive but stolen, but stolen

Pregnant with the timeless drop and the wind
The numb ringing after the bell was rung

I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Playing red light, green light, such timeless fun

I'll be gone, I'll be gone
And there was no way to kick start any conversation
It was like the beginning of 2001, when she said
But the kind of breath that you keep for the hospital bed
"I'll be gone, I'll be gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
When she said, "The first time you show me your true heart I'll be gone"

The air isn't moving and the women have nothing on their lips
Hey you're too tired to read what your cards foretold inside of a yawn
I'll be gone, I'll be gone"
