time leans forward on a steep slope
i hold you here, i have no hope
i could raise you up
i could drag you down
four years cleaning up after this town
and what do you get?
strangers in the mirror and a cigarette
it's a hard line
but it's not mine, it's a razor blade
hiding in your pocket with the flowers i made
when i breathed your air
and pushed your eyelids closed with the utmost care
and you saw cages forming everywhere
frost on the windows when you're awake
creeps alongside each step you take
down the hallway
it's a hard fought struggle for the light of day
i'm the lucky one
i can see the sun
they say it only comes round once a year
i dry your face and i wipe your tears
but is that enough?
i pray twice a day for the dream to let up
but we're stuck inside
just you and me and nothing left to hide
i'm a train wreck, you only see invisible things
the devil with a battle scar and two broken wings
he is stylish
he could heal our wounds with an extra wish
he is valiant
he has love to spare
you saw cages forming everywhere
