lyrics

The days pass by
In silence by your side
The plastic cups are piling up by you

Ride this locomotive forward
Through this blasted forest, we run
Lightning links the branches to us
Electricity in every operation
Oh this forest of bones

Ride this locomotive forward
Through this blasted forest, we run
Lightning links the branches to us
Electricity in every operation
Stop this missing come home

Find a garden
Plant a forest of bones
In the background
It will harden to stone
Are you hungry
Are you missing your sleep
Do you feel that?
Hear the surgeon’s gloves squeak?
Through the garden
Through the forest of bones
Fingers crawling
They won’t catch me, Oh No!
As you watch them
With their hands in my ribs
Do you wonder
Is it better like this?
The days pass by

The fireworks glow
Inside the glass of your window
But we won’t celebrate this year
I take my fingers from behind your ear
And step out there where friends converse
Hit glasses and assume the worst
As I appear inside the doorway
Their eyes hang so low
They know it’s “no”
