The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen. | |
In this carousel, the silence is so surreal. | |
I’ve been misled through empty streets to the heart that never beats | |
Of a body that | |
I can’t keep. | |
We’re blessed with these horrors for highways. | |
This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders. | |
Have we lost our touch? | |
A light goes on. | |
We throw our blankets aside. | |
It’s been hours now and we still know nothing. | |
The scars just don’t heal the same, when we collide. | |
I’d never say that we step to the other side to keep us from brushing shoulders. | |
But it’s collisions we need to remind us that we’re alive. | |
I’d never say that you make me sick, but you’re turning all the questions to cancers. | |
Someone call in the emergency and we’ll peel back the dressings so we can see | |
The kind of things that the surgeons see, | |
When the bloodwork won’t give us the answers. | |
They’ll never tell us, because they don’t know whats killing us. | |
My heart’s at a million miles an hour as we brace for the impact, | |
It makes time stand…. still. | |
Forcing momentum into a moment so for a split second, | |
I see your face | |
In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile. | |
This is a picture we’ll never quite forget. | |
The surgeons pick, they pick at my body. | |
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me. | |
Hold still while they pick at my body. | |
They’ll dance all around me. | |
The surgeons pick, they pick at my body. | |
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me. | |
Hold still while they pick at my body. | |
They’ll dance all around me. | |
Breathe your anaesthetic words to slow us down. | |
Tear back the skin to find, to chase a pulse back home. | |
I’d never say that you make me sick, but you’re turning all the questions to cancers. | |
Someone call in the emergency and we’ll peel back the dressings so we can see | |
The kind of things that the surgeons see, | |
When the bloodwork won’t give us the answers. | |
They’ll never tell us, because they don’t know whats killing us. |
The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen. | |
