we escape from the house
Amas the day dissapears from the sky
Into night
we bacame what we wanted to be
G Amlike a dream or a ghost
Dmi collapse out of turn
near a house
Amlying still in the grass and felt the heat from the ground
C G Amrising up to contract and expand like a breath
we escape from that place
Amsoaked with sweat and the poison we drank
Cfill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will break
like a heart
Ameasily
Dm Gbut i do not recall all the words that were formed
on those wire lips as they greeted me
Dm G Ama promise was made witout thought as the temperature climbed
Dm Gand i started to sink like the moon
tends to do if you stare at it too long
E Amthen you blink and it's gone
C G Amand we crawl to our sleep with the dawn
Dm Am repeated with "isn't it the same mistake"
Dm Am
i awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warm
close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is gone
G Amand it's light is away
Dmthe we are back in the dark
chasing nothing through backyards and trees
Cyou ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get me
Gyeah it's fear
it makes you so low
Dmand these creatures look crooked
Amtheir shadows cut lines through my face and the concrete is fire
where my bare feet are placed
G Amin a line next to yours
Dm Gand i guess i'm not sure if it was fear that was born
as those awful eyes made their claim on us
Dmi put my hands on the fence
Gsaid your name
and i started to climb
Dm Gand it must have been sweat but i drank it like wine
Am E C Em Git was sweet, my mouth was dry
i heard you scream but i made no reply
C G Ami can still taste it now if i try
