I Will Play My Game Beneath The Spin Light
Brand New
The time has come for colds and overcoats. We're quiet on the ride, we're all
just waiting to get home. Another week away, my greatest fear. I need the smell
of summer, I need its noises in my ears. If looks could really kill, then my
profession would be staring. Please know we do this cause we care and not for
the thrill. Collect calls to home to tell them that I realize that everyone who
lives will someday die and die alone. And we won't let you in. Though we're down
and out. We won't let you in. I wrote more postcards than hooks. I read more
maps than books. Feel like every chance to leave is another chance I should have
took. Every minute is a mile. I've never felt so hollow. I'm an old abandoned
church with broken pews and empty aisles. My secrets for a buck. Watch me as I
cut myself wide open on this stage. Yes, I am paid to spill my guts. I won't see
home till spring. Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic, but I am paid to make girls
panic while I sing. And we won't let you in. Though we're down and out. We won't
let you in. And we won't let you in. We don't want what isn't ours. We won't let
you in. You win. And the coastline is quiet. While we're quietly losing control.
Yes, we're silent but sure we invented the cure that will wash out my memories
of her. "The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered. The water is red." Like
you.
