Lyrics

In a busy part of town
Fifty feet above the ground
In a corner of my room
There's a photograph of you
Accidental and volatile
Your eyes were closed that time you smiled
As if you hid some kind of fire
All your passions growing wild
Out of reach
Out of reach until the end
In the middle of the night
In a dream harrowed and vile
In the heat waves of your mind
You paint my portrait black and white
Two open windows for the eyes
History books for pearly whites
You didn't add the wrinkled lines
You didn't add the wasted time
We will leave
We will leave
We will leave
We, oh, we will leave before the end
The world's a spiral of collapsing images
For every body a burning building, oh
But in the hallways of our synaptic basilica
I could be a child
I could be a child, maybe something beautiful
And we will leave
And we will leave
We will leave
And we, oh, we will leave before the end
