lyrics

So the hours have been defiled and the weeds have grown out wild. You’ve been limping those last miles, a bitter defender. Sweatshirt stained and torn, how long were you planning to mourn foggay days of roses you can barely remember? But you draw up a map. You gather your staff. It’s gonna come at you fast. You don’t have to collapse. Don’t collapse. All the damage to survey, all the crews to clear it away. All the juries deliberate and then fade into vapor. So you thought you could swallow the moon, like it was glowing only for you, like you could fill up on all that silver, all that blue. You trouble your staff. You can run all the reds. You can shake ‘em in your bed. You can slam ‘em ‘til you double your sight, but you won’t be dying young tonight. Every questionable kiss, drunken, cinematic bliss--it melts when held up to the light. No, you won’t be dying young tonight. So hold on tight. There’s a voice out on the wire. A familiar shade of tired, in the market for an ear for hire, and you know you got two. It’s a wild and winking moon. There’s a couple of rays just for you. Don’t it look even better than silver, better than blue?
