lyrics

A calm grey lake of chemical soaked memories
So delicate they crumble into dust
From the ashen sky to the aching snow
To each according to his needs when needs must

I search for tales of laughter and of medicine
With a glass held up against the wall
Watching as the sky reveals industrial silhouettes
Send me off with an ice pick in my skull

Tear gas holds me like a fool in the floodlights
These lips are sealed

Of gold and gasoline
All you hear is buildings falling down
Down blue scar tissue streams
Cast me out like I'm a skipping stone

No wonder he's been going quietly mad up there
While down here we've been drowning in the heat
Even the grass knows we're here to stay
Buildings falling and I'm shaking like a leaf

Tear gas holds me like a fool in the floodlights
From the farm to the factory

Of gold and gasoline
All you hear is buildings falling down
Down blue scar tissue streams
Cast me out like I'm a skipping stone

Like the lies of Jacob he moves across a distance and is gone
Like the lies of Jacob he moves through fields of lavender

Of gold and gasoline
All you hear is buildings falling down
Down blue scar tissue streams
Cast me out like I'm a skipping stone
