lyrics

Abandon comes on
At every pace
Your looks that cut through
Stomach's of lace
Kiss the trees of golden disease
You can only watch
The window melts and you breathe of strings
Off The Top

To wonder why the world goes silent
While you sleep
Cocooned in twilight rooms with things
I could never keep

Whatever murmurs first
Will move my mouth
And hands the color
Of one's lips
The fading painted across your voice
And fingertips
I wish I knew just have those words
You talk about

To wonder why the world goes silent
While you sleep
Cocooned in twilight rooms with shapes of wings
I've found too bleak
I'll never ask what you meant
I'll let you leave
Scratched across my arm in blue
A promise to keep
