long sleeves - tigers on trains lyrics
[verse 1]
a sullen uniform is all i have been
since the passing of that
glow against the wall
that had grown from you
but still i feel the same
though i’ve lost a bit of weight
from all those dressings that i shed
thought they’d sworn to stay in place
[verse 2]
but i’ve kept a steady peace
between my days
though they’re stretching out like flames
in a restless rage
and the fleeting selfish thoughts
that drew us grey
are cradling the coals
what could i do
what could i do
[verse 3]
you left your staining heart
in a mud*brick mausoleum
you were grateful for the sight
but couldn’t keep it in your mind
but i steered my way through all
that stilted speech
a thicket patch of verbs
and spines and seeds
that fell into a beard of knotting leaves
virescent on my jaw
what can i do
what can i do
what can i do
what can i do
[verse 4]
the second that you fled yourself
i knew i was someone else
staring at the flame you lit
a calvary between your ribs
now with all that fever gone
we’re sleeping with our long sleeves on
hoping for a healthy dawn
to place our aching heads upon
[outro]
that masonry you’d lain
it was not enough to keep you from your pain
