Refugees - Atlas Genius

Roads of gold are forever dulled

Taking stock of what you lost

And what you want to take

Roads of time will be straight again

If we stop, we can see ahead

The mountains desecrate

So as we caught ourselves astray

We’re floating on our own

Hoping to reach tomorrow

These ghosts of ours, we sent away

Like refugees, nowhere to stay

A carousel of fallen days

Like refugees, nowhere to stay

Tried to cross at the quiet edge

Fell asleep at the shallow end

The hours turn to grey

I want to feel like you meant it

I want to think that we held it all

As the fever starts to take

So as we caught ourselves astray

We’re floating on our own

Hoping to reach tomorrow

These ghosts of ours, we sent away

Like refugees, nowhere to stay

A carousel of fallen days

Like refugees, nowhere to stay

I put my thoughts through a metal sift

To separate my truth as illusion

And what I find, I will forgive

'Cause there aren’t really any solutions

You said you felt so alive right at the summer’s edge

This moment never resolves 'cause

There is no end

These ghosts of ours, we sent away

Like refugees, nowhere to stay

A carousel of fallen days

Like refugees, nowhere to stay

This road is unknown

We let go of these ghosts

This road is unknown

We let go of these ghosts

This road is unknown

We let go of these ghosts

This road is unknown

We let go of these ghosts
