Thursday - Cross Out The Eyes Lyrics
Lets call this the quiet citywhere screams are felt as the waves of the stoplightsDrive throught the streetsas gunshots punctuate the nightThe sides we take divide us from our faithand the morning dove gets caught in the telephone wireAsleep you set the fire in your own houseand the night was a knife the cutand I'm paralyzedCross out the eyes, blur all the linesTearing this canvas from the wallCross out the eyes, put lines through these crysPulled all the leaves from the trees that fallYeah trees that fall, trees that fall, trees that fall, fallThe silent dance that we didInto the hospital bedVoices from another room"It happens all the time"But July and the sandThe leaves fall andCounting down the days to liveDrain the blood from this valentineWe can rise on the wings of the doveSea blue skys getting caught in the trail of all this smokeWe can rise like candles in the darkYours always and the memo marked with your new addressAsleep you set the fire in your own houseAnd the night was a knife that cutAnd I'm paralyzedCross out the eyes, blur all the linesTearing this canvas from the wallCross out the eyes, put lines through these crysPulled all the leaves from the trees that fallCross out the eyes, blur all the lines, linesCross out the eyes, blur all the lines, crysThe eyes, cross, the eyes crossIt was the first time face to faceCrossing the line talking to the other side of deathHearing the words that choke memorie into flatlinesCalling your name, hoping for something to wash these dreams of you awayTil we die, memories and flatlinesCross out the eyes til we set off these linesCross out the eyes til we set off these linesCross out the eyesOur fence was blown down in a winter storm in this field(Cross out the eyes)Stretches out of this world into the sound(A trace of)What can we do the put a stop the the coming white days(A love song)I'm hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away
