lyrics

You saw me off
Waving a handkerchief in the air at the dock.
You turned to stone,
With a tear of blood that hit the shore and it rippled.

The lines of cars were a funeral procession
Falling from your arms
And the sun was swallowed,
Fireworks exploded and in mid-air froze.

So I stare at the ceiling, the toxicity peaks.

I keep the paintings covered,
Their faces are insufferable.
I keep letters in envelopes;
A graveyard full of ghosts.

The fever boiled and was broken.

The grandfather clock that used to watch over us
Had a mighty beating heart
That resonated through our own vessels.
You turned to stone
Like that lighthouse we once called our own.
And no matter what great return,
I could never repay the restitution.
