lyrics

As the loop enlaces
Subtleties are stripped away
Have I just imagined
That you seem to look my way

Do you see me
Green is where I want to be (x2)

Three days, three days of a single night
Three days, three days of another life
Three days, three days I'm encased in wire

The engines scream
It cuts a hole in my head
The taste is sick
I feel unease on my tongue

Won't ever slip
Into the floors
A restlessness inside

Look towards the spires
And lettered streets
You come mend my hands
As I burst the seams
And it's in the bones
And it wants to hide
But you bring me out from deep inside
You bring me out from deep inside

Underneath a single light (x2)

Now the streetlamp becomes the moon to me
I'm falling back again
I can eat this but nothing changes
I'm falling back again
Once a fervor
It's now an impediment
Your likeness lingers on my pillowcase
And I could say that it's better than it's ever been
I know you think that I don't think of you
But you can trust that I do

Watching the porchlights in the dark
Climb to the rooftop
I smile at you
You laugh, you laugh (x2)
If you and I burned a hole into the sky
If you and I could have felt each other's fire
But you weren't there
I just never fell asleep
You were never there
Just too long I've been awake
