Lyrics

So long down to nothing
Phones ringing off the hook
I can't rest while the steel building's standing
Now the birds are singing
Outside my window
You think love is just a
A sunny afternoon
Now you've touched so much face
Your kiss brought up welts on her hand
When all you have is fear in your heart
All you hold dear hides in the shadows
You keep it alive inside your head
Soaking up love, blood on your own spines
So long down to nothing
Phones ringing off the hook
I can't rest while the steel building's standing
Now the birds are singing
Outside my window
You think love is just a
A sunny afternoon
How can you recognize even tender
When you're so sick inside
How can you understand progress
With bloody hands wrapped around your chest
This tender grace will let you die
This tender grace will let you die
This tender grace will let you die
This tender grace will let you die
When all you have is fear in your heart
All you hold dear hides in the shadows
You keep it alive inside your head
Soaking up love, blood on your own spines
So long down to nothing
Phones ringing off the hook
I can't rest while the steel building's standing
Now the birds are singing
Outside my window
You think love is just a
A sunny afternoon
