Sleeping Cranes

Shake Off Your Ghosts
Here are your anchors, take your promises and betsHere's your fever, yours to accentuate with cigarettesWill I watch your smile go up in smoke, or did your trials evokeA half a mind to turn it all around?I knew you'd end up letting me downAnd in your days spent smiling on the coastDid the ocean drink up all your sense and the things you'd come to love the most?Have you drowned all of your ailments, have you shaken off your ghosts?With that quick adhesive heart, I can't imagine why anyone would get too closeHere's your fever, I haven't thought of you in daysHere's your alcohol, yours to drink or yours to wasteCan I make my ears refuse your mouth, or am I lying to myself?I've got half a mind to turn it all aroundI'm tired of feeling like I always let you downAnd in your days spent smiling on the coastDid the ocean drink up all your sense and the things you'd come to love the most?Have you drowned all of your ailments, have you shaken off your ghosts?With that quick adhesive heart, I can't imagine why anyone would get too closeSo find a nice lush to keep your bed warmHe won't ask where you've been, he'll just weather the stormSummer's breath is imminent, it's crawling through your veinsIt's building walls and burning bridges, and I'm headed back the way I came From Letras Mania
