lyrics

When the sound of the birds have got you feeling unnerved,
You will drift from your home like a knife through cloth.
You lay beside the needle and thread until the sounds wear off
And you remember the way to close your eyes...

Hold me water, back to the slaughter!
Then let me go…
Bring their name back, the line has gone slack
I want you to know…(that)

Here I am, no buttons or strings;
I saw it all;
Like a dam, I’m holding it back behind my jaw.
Maybe I knew it all along?

Through indifferent chances and the pressure that pulls,
You pumped the blood and forced that smile.
You learned to see all the colours they need from a damaged file;
It’s just another way to close your eyes.

[Instrumental break]

There’s a song in a dim room, a candle-lit ghost-tune
That they don’t know...
A rip in the lifeline, a hole in the red wine.
It’s a fire show… (but)

Here I am, no buttons or strings;
I saw it all.
Like a dam, I’m holding it back behind my jaw.
Maybe I knew it all along?
