Smokestacks
We’ll just fall asleep to songs we know by heart We’re all just shadows and silhouettes. But nights like these, they give us depth What lovely thoughts of you. So disillusioned, I’m the stars punched in your pitch-black plan Of hiding under darkened, empty skies I’d tell you everything but you’d just forget; I’m plain and simple, the smoke over your head, Dissolved into a stagnant sky (Well I guess the silence means goodbye) So here we are, at bitter ends Well close your eyes and get some rest Good head starts, they never got us too far I in and exhale but never catch my breath Peel back the paint, and we’re all just at the mercy of the elements Tired hearts at their end, close your eyes darling and just pretend The night is young and we’re not ever going home So what’s it like to be a songbird? cause we’re all just set in stone And worn away by wind; a life unmovable Leave what you know will guide you home So what’s it like to be honest for nothing? I’m plain and simple: a crutch for your longing, A gaping cut best left alone To clutch the only flesh its known And I know too much already to go now From Letras Mania
