lyrics

must have been numb before i met you
my heart was buried in a cage
i was stuck in boots the size of towers
would not emerge from underwater

i did not know if i would find you
i did not know where to look

i couldn’t see the door was open
i couldn’t see your big red eyes
sitting in front of my autocue
all i said had been on the news

tales from magazines
words don’t hurt if no one sees them
tales from magazines
broken sleep liquid daylight
you’re telling me
this is real life
this is real life

i don’t deny i lived off your kindness
the breath i took from your salty lips
was like a frog washed up the shore
you showed my legs that they could walk

i did not know If i would find you
no clue where i would go without you

this record will play forever
i see my hand touches your skin
and when dust gathers on our spines
the wind will blow through our chambers

Since 2006. ... more
