Heart Toll by Albis

Heart Toll

Weaving through the crowd on the sidewalk in this town that I call home
Snow is falling all around me, ice slips under my feet; I don't feel a thing
A man is screaming crying on a cell phone but no one says a thing
They keep moving forward at their own pace, they hardly turn to the side

I'm wishing that I could heal
For a bell toll, or a heart skip, for something I can hear or feel

Let the snow fall down and forget about me, it's a battle worth giving up
I'm living underground, you walk above me, I've got no strength to look up
Chose the wrong turn on the right street, but I've got to keep looking up
I’ve been staying away from my home base, I've been gone for oh so long

I'm wishing that I could heal
For a bell toll, or a heart skip, for something I can hear or feel
Am I waiting, am I jumping, how long can I stand on this ledge with what I feel?

Weaving through the crowd on the sidewalk In this town that I call home
Snow is falling all around me, ice slips under my feet; I don't feel a thing
The sun's so closed now I barely turn, I barely turn to the side
We're not moving, we're not moving

I'm wishing that I could heal
For a bell toll, or a heart skip, for something I can hear or feel
Am I waiting, am I jumping, how long can I stand on this ledge with what I feel?
