lyrics

There's something in the way
Something that is blocking the flow of time
something that is softening all the lines
like chalk in rain

I was about to say
That in the light of flickering neon signs,
your face, it doesn't look quite as real as mine
this city stains

See those buildings grow from piles of dust
I watch your wound undone, his face takes back disgust
I thought this city was as good a place to die
as any other one
The center of another sun

We wanted to escape
To pack a bag and take our six favorite things
A sweater and your journal, your uncle's ring
if time would allow

We put it all on tape
but trying to articulate obstacles
is like trying to spin a sweater from unwashed wool
would we be proud?

It's enough to say we did not go
We got as far as Clara's house right up the road
before we turned our targets toward each other's throats
and then unleashed a salvo that brought down the ghost

See those buildings crumble into dust
I watch your wound inflicted, see that fencepost rust
Now who the hell said anyone could live in here
But if I"m voiceless, I'll try not to shed a tear

But there's something in the way.
