slowburn

we're character actors from the tower of babel, bewildered, burned out hardly able, to sit astride the high wire cable, it's hard to balance, a little unstable. through broken eyes and contact lenses, watched you draw your future tenses, see kisses of flame blow out of your lips, you're back telling me your apocalypse. don't get me wrong, i'll be strong, when the slowburn sunset come along, you've gotta stay the night, i gotta think that you might. we've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills, we've tried making movies from a volume of stills, the words fell like hailstones, bouncing at our feet, covering our feelings with a frozen sheet. a chance to move, i take a shot, i get cold - you get hot, we look outside, lyin' awake, see birds breaking surface on a silent lake. but don't get me wrong, i'll be strong, when i'm back on the isle of avalon, dont get me wrong, i'll be strong, when the slow burn sunset come along, you've got to stay the night, i've got to think that you might. don't try make it easy, it'll cut you down to size, darlin' we've got to trust in something, we're shooting down our skies, shooting down our skies,
