lyrics

In the home he built, the carpenter whose corridor
was as crooked as the knee
that you pushed onto the cavities you felt would never
need or miss the air

In the dark of night beneath the powerlines
how they slit the night
Hear the sounds they make, as if looking for a friend
to reach the light
But the dark it seems to cast out anyone who tries

With the dawn they’ll come to sell them back to you the clothes that you once gave away
and the path it seems familiar to me but the dust it seems to dry today

They will leave when they’re full and they won’t give a damn
of what you think is fair
So you tore and you tore the carpet from the queen
to reveal the flaws in all our plans, so let’s do it all again

Take the last few seconds to realize
that it was the same city where you fell in love
We would walk in the scorching sun
and that perfect place would elude us
and the fireworks are just chemicals
that I don’t understand

So you hid the keys to keep yourself from harm but from whom or what was not so clear

In any case you should spray in with pesticide and see who’ll come out alive

The static sounds till dawn it will always be the same
no matter what you steal
though no one needs the power that they bring
they can help me feel alive until the dawn turns everything to dust

Take the last few seconds to realize
that it was the same city where you fell in love
We would walk in the scorching sun
and that perfect place would elude us
and the fireworks are just chemicals
that I don’t understand
