lyrics

I can hear their footsteps, they’re calling out to me
I’ll take them for a walk, a place to bury one more stranger
We all eat lies when our hearts are so hungry
A quiet violence no words can escape from

On the way down, there’s no way out
Home is where the heart is, but nothing good can stay
Hold your breath now, take back the sound
Closet's a cemetery, it’s just the parts we play

Things aside I feel the same way
I break stride just to hear you say
You can’t take anything from me
Settle down into our caskets
The bright lights will separate
The promise in everything you said

These days are long, the nights are few
So cut your losses now

On the way down, there’s no way out
Home is where the heart is, but nothing good can stay
Hold your breath now, take back the sound
Closet's a cemetery, it’s just the parts we play

We measure meaning with sentiment
Faces on places we call home
Pavement floors that we once called our beds
Grew cold and faded like the rest

The blackouts have turned to grey
The street lights will separate

On the way down, there’s no way out
Home is where the heart is, but nothing good can stay
Hold your breath now, take back the sound
Closet's a cemetery, it’s just the parts we play
