We Escape From The House


As The Day Disappears From The Sky


Into Night We Became What We Wanted To Be


Like A Dream Or A Ghost


I Collapse Out Of Turn


Near A House Lying Still In The Grass


And Felt The Heat From The Ground Rising Up To Contract


And Expand Like A Breath


We Leave From That Place Soaked With Sweat


And The Poison We Drank


Fill The Bathtub With Ice And Hope This Fever Will Break


Like A Heart, Easily


But I Do Not Recall All The Words That Were Formed


On Those Wire Lips As They Greeted Me


A Promise Was Made Without Thought As The Temperature Climbed


And I Started To Sink Like The Moon Tends To Do


If You Stare At It So Long


Then You Blink And It's Gone


And We Crawl To Our Sleep With The Dawn


Take It Back


And Isn't It The Same Mistake?


And Isn't It The Same Mistake?


And Isn't It The Same Mistake?


There's Not Much You Can Escape


And Isn't It The Same?


We Awake In The Light


Feeling Hollow And Selfishly Warm


Close The Blinds And Retreat Until What's Burning Is Gone


And Its Light Is Away


Then We're Back In The Dark


Chasing Nothing Through Backyards And Trees


You Ripped Your Shirt On A Fence


But It Didn't Get Me


Yeah, It's Fear, It Makes You Slow


And These Creatures Look Crooked


Their Shadows Cut Lines Through My Face


And The Concrete Is Fire Where My Bare Feet Are Placed


In A Line Next To Yours


And I Guess I'm Not Sure If It's Fear That Was Born


As Those Awful Eyes Laid Their Claim On Us


I Put My Hands On The Fence


Said Your Name And I Started To Climb


And It Must Have Been Sweat But I Drank It Like Wine


It Was Sweet, My Mouth Was Dry


I Heard Your Scream But I Made No Reply


I Can Still Taste It Now If I Can
