Gasp Lyrics by There Were Wires

Somnambulists

2003

Is he still alive?
Can you hear his breath?
What I'd like to hear is just the rotten truth
Is he still alive?
Can you hear his breath?
What I'd like to hear is just the rotten truth
That this horse is dead
Beaten to the end
What time was ours?
And is that time still for sale?
I'll pay in wasted years
I'll pay in wasted breath
Welcome to a ghost town family
Welcome to an empty chest
Find the rhythm of retracting claws and gnashing teeth
Pulsing beneath a shallow smile
I've danced to it for years
A camera broken and never fixed
Focus and paralysis
Know why? Know why?
It never worked before
Time has fucked us, peedled paint off walls
Daughters we didn't know at all
So goodbye, let's take it to the grave
My hair will turn star white
Star white
And that's the best I can do for blood like you
Let's hope it's enough
'Cause my god how the walls will take
When they think they're all alone
But I've been here every year watching us get old
