lyrics

Read a story about a man salivating at the sight of sun
as he drew in his breath, never knew what he’d see next
So I turned the page to see a change but it all ends up being the same, why not find an escape rather than waste another day

If we’d find all our troubles, please tear them in front of me
and if you decide roll the windows right up and just turn the keys

I’ve been rewinding tapes, throwing photographs away,
let them burn like the hell only love can bring
I’ve been shredding the cards, forgetting memories,
letting time be erased, let it set the stage

Is it love or are we jaded,
what’s reality if it’s all what we make it
Is it angst or sophistication,
when we breathe in the smoke and the fallen glass

The wolves I see they smile at me
they see my nerves pulsating as they come
Whispering it all gets worse as my breath significantly worsens
and They come as if they’re shot from a gun;
they can see my knees weakening
Fall down with me, fall down with me

He saw a play the other day directly taken by the wright in shame;
he said do fact and fiction really need distinction
He shouts in laughter the question’s answer just as if he never meant to say, I never meant physical, these morals are just so trivial

He sang when we fall, our wings break
did you think I would give them strength
Fall forward to the boards,
hit heaven hard let them wash away

He’s been storming the lines we’ve never meant to cross;
he’ll speak Rand-nian shone in young decadence
He’ll speak of loving ourselves, keeping dedicated,
so we’ll question the night reveling in her sweet violence

We can leave this town, we can run away
Like a movie scene hung on a stranger’s face

Because I know that I can’t
Love again the same as yesteryears
the calluses on my knees have all dried from its bleeding
You know I’d rather stay; I’d rather stay with you
