lyrics

I am drawn to the waves.
To sweep the glass away.
Into the islands of the lost.
I am out drinking away.
Let the holy asylum be saved.
In the memory of my love.

I drown in these city lights, maybe they won't drown you.
I laid my head in the open fire.
I'm burning all around you.
But you're fireproof.

Doubled down, in a haze.
In the spiraling shades of grey.
From a night of fun with the boys.
And I hear the voice and the sputtering sounds.
And the echo of my soul all around.
We can run or melt into the ground.
Or house "the hollows" in doubt.

I drown in these city lights, maybe they won't drown you.
I laid my head in the open fire.
I'm burning all around you.
But you're fireproof.

And I felt the silence here from all my boys dying out.
And I felt the silence here from all my boys dying out.
And I felt the silence here from all my boys dying out.
And I felt the silence here from all my boys dying out.

Oh time, why you gotta punish me?
Oh time, why you gotta punish me?
Oh time, why you gotta punish me?
Oh time, why you gotta punish me?

I drown in these city lights, maybe they won't drown you.
