Wrapped in Piano Strings |
I saw your father in the hall |
His ghost is living in the walls |
I heard him crying while you slept |
I heard him breaking things after you left |
I watched you crawl into my bed |
With curses spilling from your head |
You said, «We're just the walking dead» |
So I pulled the trigger and we floated off |
Into the air |
Into the air |
Into the air |
Into the air |
We’re in the air |
We’re in the air |
Up in the air |
Up in the air |
I used to worry about the time |
That I lost my teeth along the line |
So I carved the apple from my eye |
And gave it to you before I went away |
Blood ran into the kitchen sink |
Your hand and arms are running pink |
I sat and watched you as your ring |
Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor |
They cut your eyes wide open |
And bore into your precious head |
My reach don’t go that far, dear |
But please, oh please, don’t let them in |
I sank into the sea |
Wrapped in piano strings |
Few words could open me |
But you knew them all |
Now I just sleep beneath your floor |
My ghost just tries to keep you warm |
I’ve seen the end, I’ve lost the war |
One day you’ll join me here just like the rest |
I hear the engines |
They’re roaring in our mouths |
The smell of creatures |
Are falling tooth and nail to get out |
I see the airplanes |
They’re pouring from your chest |
They fill the air |
And burn and bury just like the rest |
