lyrics

ghost of divinity
in a castle on the hill
took the wrong directions
almost got us killed

the key on my arm
never faded away
soaked into my bloodstream
in my heart it stays

the snow turned black tonight
i left my conscious behind
followed your timid trail
our knotted stomachs intertwined
once the drinks start sinking in
i know just what i’ll find
a language pure and focused
a dotted scissor line

chorus
and backwards signs
so sorry guys
in the corner, safety hides

designed pall bearers
carry corpses in the cold
all around siren sounds
diner signs in gold
caught in neon undertow
crooked ceiling
flailing in the undertow
and slowly sinking in

you’re wearing different shoes
who are you tonight?
a sidewalk gutterpunk
or an angel in disguise?
we wait an emergency
or just to save your life
tattoos, my drunken friends
a bashful lullaby
