lyrics

I taught myself that falling days require shelves to keep them safe
That dusty worlds and memories will gather up to keep me here
But when december disappears and leaves the world another year
Older, then cold is the wind.

I fell asleep in the back of the car
My mind was screening photographs, fleeting dreams like shooting stars
You wore your sins like coloured beads, pretty sins for all to see
But that selfishness made you so hard to please

When you made for the half lit dawn

The streets were as empty as ever
The rain came down on riot day like an ocean in the fireplace
I stepped outside and it was half dark
All dripping skies and crawling cars
Bitter eyes and broken hearts

Gazing at the half lit dawn

So how do you expect us to talk?
When you give us no voice, and won't hear us at all
Oh, now I'm preparing to leave you all
I'm picking a few things up off my floor

And making for the half lit dawn
