Long Sleeves Lyrics by Tigers on Trains

Foundry

0

[Verse 1]
A sullen uniform is all I have been
Since the passing of that
Glow against the wall
That had grown from you
But still I feel the same
Though I've lost a bit of weight
From all those dressings that I shed
Thought they'd sworn to stay in place
[Verse 2]
But I've kept a steady peace
Between my days
Though they're stretching out like flames
In a restless rage
And the fleeting selfish thoughts
That drew us grey
Are cradling the coals
What could I do
What could I do
[Verse 3]
You left your staining heart
In a mud-brick mausoleum
You were grateful for the sight
But couldn't keep it in your mind
But I steered my way through all
That stilted speech
A thicket patch of verbs
And spines and seeds
That fell into a beard of knotting leaves
Virescent on my jaw
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
[Verse 4]
The second that you fled Yourself
I knew I was someone else
Staring at the flame you lit
A calvary between your ribs
Now with all that fever gone
We're sleeping with our long sleeves on
Hoping for a healthy dawn
To place our aching heads upon
[Outro]
That masonry you'd lain
It was not enough to keep you from your pain
