lyrics

I find my answers in the fringes of the night
When the buildings in the distance barely hobble into sight
There was a certain reassurance in the early morning charm
Like the cruelness in the world could never do us any harm

And we watched the sun come up in our comfortable delusion

She said your name and I thought about our lives
Growing frail like fraying cables on the high strung powerlines
Stately, solemn crosses on the edge of our hometowns
They never deign to wonder who of us would stick around

But I will be born anew even if it is without you

I’ve been holding on the highest rung of a ladder that descends to total darkness
If I could just hold on and write you one more song
Maybe I could finally break that spell
And give you that long overdue farewell

I saw my future in a trapezoid of light
Arcing downward from a lamppost on a cold Chicago night
And the heat that radiates will melt the falling flakes of snow
Before they can land and dampen the sleeves of her winter coat

And we’ll breathe out our pasts like escaping apparitions

I could fill her ears with all I’ve lived to tell
But let’s be honest, be honest with ourselves

Found this album at a time I was in the habit of having a bad dream about you and me. It's great, the song's great, the band's great, corn dogs are probably mid at best. vincentavatar

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
