Cross Out the Eyes |
Let’s call this the quiet city: |
Where screams are felt as a wave of stoplights |
Drive through the streets as gunshots punctuate the night |
The sides we take divide us from our faith |
And the morning dove gets caught in the telephone wire |
Asleep you set the fire in your own house |
And the night was a knife that cut |
And I’m paralyzed |
Cross out the eyes |
Blur all the lines |
Tearing this canvas from the wall |
We crossed out the eyes |
Put lines through these cries |
We pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall |
Trees that fall |
Trees that fall |
Trees that fall |
Trees that fall |
A silent dance that we did into this hospital bed |
Hear voices from another room |
«It happens all the time» |
But July in the sand |
The leaves falling |
And counting down our days to live… |
Drain the blood from this valentine |
«We can rise on the wings of the dove |
See blue skies getting caught in the trail of all this smoke |
We can rise like candles in the dark, yours always» |
And an envelope marked with your new address |
Asleep you set the fire in your own house |
And the night was a knife that cut |
And I’m paralyzed |
Cross out the eyes |
Blur all the lines |
Tearing this canvas from the wall |
We crossed out the eyes |
Put lines through these cries |
We pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall |
Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines |
Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines |
It was the first time face to face |
I’m crossing the line |
Talking to the other side of death |
Hearing the words that choke memories into flatlines |
I’m calling your name hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away |
(Can't we die!) |
(Memories in flatlines!) |
Cross out the eyes with a set of these lines |
Cross out the eyes with a set of these lines! |
(Cross out the eyes!) |
Our fence was blown down in a winter storm and this field |
(Cross out the eyes!) |
Stretches out of this world into the sound |
(A trace of) |
What can we do to put a stop to these coming white days |
(A love song) |
I’m hoping the snow will wash these dreams of you away… |
(Stretches out of this world |
Let’s drive back the dead |
Stretches out of this world |
Stretches out of this world) |
