The Silence Above

from the silence above by chorus house

lyrics

you're a tall boy
you always have been and always will be
i rubbed a little woman
i took you wrong
i took you for all you could be
i took a little thumb

wash your hands and feel thoughts rushing
i caught my glove inside of the chipping
and the shoes just sit in the corner
dying on the couch, my little plaster saint

time tricks the ferris wheel to make us tired
reaching our longer than eyes stretching ocean views

Keep on living where miners fear
So dark that it’s home
jumble keys inside of city lights
to get so crowded and lone
Get up baby and sing your songs, I’ve been singing them all day long

You take a lover to call your own
Make you stumble in chills
tall boys on the failing banks
gonna leave you just so
Get up man I know you’re home, digging holes in your palms

i saw my way bright
tall boy, alright
i'm kicking down the ladder
that's not your ladder
you know your love is lit up like the fire in a howl
and now you're wet
go and grab something soft
softer than the lock
softer than the silence above
