|
You're turning off your course again |
|
That fall would kill a stronger man |
|
With hungry headlights closing in |
|
St John is looking welcoming |
|
Death is always closer than |
|
Death is closer than all your friends |
|
Death is closer than we think |
|
He's closer than your friends and things |
|
We drove that car into a full-on spin |
|
I wonder just how it would feel if we dove on in |
|
I caught a glimpse of my screaming friend |
|
But when the sound cut out, I swore she's laughing |
|
Shattered lights spiral and blur on in |
|
And then rain sang along to her freckled skin |
|
This city's just a smudge on watery lens |
|
I couldn't help but feel helpless, so I kissed her again. |
|
Turn it off and walk away |
|
Don't look down into those waves |
|
You'll never be the same again |
|
And we all suffer short term memory loss |
|
From time to time |
|
You got him jumping everywhere |
|
Across the gaps and stairs |
|
Embracing every nick and cut |
|
And jammed finger face plant it's |
|
He doesn't care for good repair |
|
Soak up the sun and air |
|
And Chipped a tooth to feel the truth |
|
Breaking every bone he can't mend. |
|
The blood's the thing that drives the dream |
|
That makes him think he can fall off. |
|
The blood's the thing that boils to steam |
|
That makes machines out of our hearts. |
|
The tires breathing out |
|
Like tired moms and troubled teens. |
|
With secret smoke breaks |
|
Balancing between showmanship and discovery. |
|
Mister melodrama is over there covering things |
|
Directing traffic, mumbling, like "move it along, nothing to see" |
|
It's such a funny dream |
|
Its such a sight to see |
|
Honking horns and doubled breeze, |
|
Matthews bridge in a watercolor dream |
|
And I'm just standing there shifting in my skin |
|
Sifting grate below, |
|
fall to the rivers wash, taste my blood |
|
Embrace my breaking bones |
|
Turn it off and walk away |
|
Don't look down into those waves |
|
You'll never be the same again |
|
And we all suffer short term memory loss |
|
From time to time |
|
We all suffer short term memory loss |
|
From time to time x4 |
