lyrics

Do you mean to state
You were hardly noticing
The motions of your body
As a tool for the night?
But you captivate your prey
With a self-defacing smile
Pushing venom into veins
Of the countless helpless boys

While waiting for someone to take you away
Your knight won’t have any shining armor. I think
He will drink himself and you into the center of the earth
And keep you at bay every night with god upon his fists and

I burn up
I come back down
We want you here with us
Until we fall apart.

You lived out of town
And the city it refused
To inhabit your body
For a single instant
And you still dream at night
Of a love so childish
And hang your halo on the bedpost
Like your grandmother

Just because you feel safe in your bedroom
Does not mean no one wants inside

I burn up
I come back down
We want you here with us
Until we fall apart.

The trade winds carry forth
From your home to the Atlantic
You still wear it in the title
That your parents gave you
You can hear the wind at night
We will name it for your lover
And a cyclone loses strength
Beyond the confines of the sea.
