Let's call this the quiet city:

Where screams are felt as a wave of stoplights

Drive through the streets as gunshots punctuate the night

The sides we take divide us from our faith

And the morning dove gets caught in the telephone wire

Asleep you set the fire in your own house

And the night was a knife that cut

And I'm paralyzed

Cross out the eyes

Blur all the lines

Tearing this canvas from the wall

We crossed out the eyes

Put lines through these cries

We pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall

A silent dance that we did into this hospital bed

Hear voices from another room

"It happens all the time"

But July in the sand

The leaves fall then

And counting down our days to live....

Drain the blood from this valentine!

"We can rise on the wings of the dove

See blue skies getting caught in the trail of all this smoke

We can rise like candles in the dark-yours always"

and an envelope marked with your new address

Asleep you set the fire in your own house

And the night was a knife that cut

And I'm paralyzed

Cross out the eyes

Blur all the lines

Tearing this canvas from the wall

We crossed out the eyes

Put lines through these cries

We pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall

(Cross out the eyes!)

(Blur all the lines!)

(Cries!)

It was the first time face to face

I'm crossing the line

Talking to the other side of death

Hearing the words that choke memories into flatlines

I'm calling your name hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away

(till we die!)

(memories in flatlines!)

Cross out the eyes when you said all these lies

Cross out the eyes when you said all these lies!

Fence was blown down in a winter storm and this field

(cross out the eyes!)

Stretches out of this world into the sound

(A trace of!)

What can we do put a stop to the coming white days

(In a love song!)

I'm hoping for white days to wash these dreams of you away

(Stretches out of this world

Lets drive back the dead

Stretches out of this world

Stretches out of this world)
