Cross Out The Eyes

Let's call this "The Quiet City"

Where screams are felt as a wave of the 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

Cross out the eyes, put lines through these cries

Pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall

Your

Trees that fall

Trees that fall

Trees that fall

Fall

A silent dance that we did into this hospital bed

Voices from another room

Happens all the time

But July on the sand

The leaves falling and

Counting down 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

Cross out the eyes, put lines through these cries

Pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall

Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines, lines

Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines, cries

The eyes, lines

The eyes, cried

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

Till we die

Memory in flatlines

Cross out the eyes when we set off these lives

Cross out the eyes when we set off these lives

Cross out the eyes

Fence was blown down in a winter storm in 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 the coming white days?

A love song

Hoping for something 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
