Lyrics by Jacob Koestler

lyrics

All around, at the top,
Of a house, at the end of a street,
We wait
For a cue, another kind of sound
Be it above, or from below

Splayed out on sofas, and hangin from rafters
It's best to keep the ones that never sleep
For fear of missing a chance
To float, to tear at an open head
That's droning, bellowing, and poking at an open sore
That just won't heal
The rising light that dims the blind eye
So leave me alone with my songs
While I hum to sleep
The sights are racing on my crooked body
The back of my eyes, are barely curtains
And then there's everything else
