Cue The Cold Air

by Alpha Cop

/
1.
I've seen the look in your eyes when the feeling always turns to ice and the waking world is broken go back to sleep We've been living hand-to-mouth 'cuz I let too many ghosts in the house through the cracks in the wall where the world gets in No one comes over the lawn's overgrown this is just the devil I know I've been seeing shapes in the stormclouds and corners of the house Don't turn your back on the sea don't turn your back on the plains honey, my land is parched, parched and my house is fallen down
2.
This is where it ends chapter and verse you win take the handful of hate with you as I die and step into the bright sunshine We took the same road long enough to see it was a waste long enough to fry our minds on the hot pavement watching angels of the lord in their dizzy choruses crashing to the humid earth How did I get here? Just a broken-axled pickup rusting in the salt air return to the soil return to the soil
3.
A few lifetimes ago a strong mind crept in silence and rolled the stone It's okay with me, Lord I don't mind what they've done to your chosen one With no halo to hold and none worth holding on to, we might be overcome
4.
Along the spine of a broken world solemn and dangerous climbing 'cuz it's there Gravity loves you, baby the ground will always be there to catch you Not like the eagle not a controlled fall Where thousands have tried these untested heights Same high same blur of cloud and glory same water in my veins You came all this way nailed yourself to the roof of the world just to slide back down wrapped in your nation's flag
5.
It feels so good to be wrong to climb to the top of a dying pine to celebrate your every failure sleeping in a cold, cold trailer Beneath the mountain's weary shoulders resonating through the hollow where this goes I cannot follow drinking from that bitter bottle I drove by the old place a few years back nothing left but an empty lot beneath the mountain's weak shoulders in my heart, an empty spot Raise your glass to the river in flood drink it down and close your eyes
