lyrics

We were walking hallways in another world, just you and me, and we
Held on to the walls and echoes
Shivered through our feet
We were lost under umbrellas from a Time when rain came down
And I was happy just to hold up a
Candle to the cold, we were

Lost inside the bloodless veins of a
Corporate corpse
Still we held on to the lifesavers, the
Labels of our clothes
I could hear all of the apple cores
Inside me cry for murder
Cry for more, and if you
Are what you eat
Then this consumptive love can feed

We at last came to a door held by
Hold-on-strangers
Who were happy to ignore the missing Limbs of our love
And the pace maker between us
Pushed us through to a room where it Finally died
Left us wide eyed

We had humbly stumbled
On an auditorium, mmm, and we
Held on to the stairs that slowly
Slinkied us to centre stage
The lights between the aisles spied a field Of rows un-hoed
We spoke to show that there was
Reason for the need, eating
Egg and eating seed, we were

Lost between the shadows of the corn That grew for harvest long ago
When suddenly the walls were falling
And an ocean came to meet us

When we saw the water coming
Anxious feet we
Buried in the ground
And all the seeds that took the time
To root
Were all still standing, we were

Holding our umbrellas trying to get back
To the bloodless veins
But it was time we washed away
You said
‘Lover, look away’, you said
‘Lover, look away’, you said
‘Lover, look away...’
