lyrics

We're not giving up ghosts, they're dropping like stones
Don't believe a word that spills from their throats
If lying's so easy, why bite your tongue?
Open the cage and deflate your lungs

You came in on a weak wind
All those stars on that velvet night
But we've muted the colours, we're just shadows in denial

Scraping the bottom, nerve endings raw
Trying to forget the things that I saw
I feel the whispers pick me apart
They've had their speech rehearsed from the start

Stripped down to a husk,
I need a compass to tell the time
And a clock to figure out where the hell I've been

The one-eyed jack euchres the man with the axe

Thrust a spear into each corner and pull up the flags
All silver linings that once were blinding will fall into flame

A knot in time too small to be the spine,
My nerve bows out and robs me blind
I drew a dead man's hand
