lyrics

I shook hands with a one-armed man
His grip was strong and strange
He took me to a place downtown
Beneath the elevated train
The people there were made of stone
Their faces wracked with fame
They pulled me in with uncanny strength
Shouting “He’s the one to blame!”

Then you crashed in through the skylight
With a shotgun on your back
You said “Come with me if you want to live”
And the walls began to crack

You’re my deus ex machina
You’re my salvation unforeseen
You’re the twist I never saw coming
Now you’re stealing every scene
In this scarifying dream
That I don’t ever want to wake up from
I don’t want to go back!

I saw my face on a gaslight pole
Found out I was missing
Midnight caught us by the Morlock hole
Beneath a broken streetlight, kissing
You said “I guess this doesn’t make much sense
But I’ve known you from before
It’s been ten years since I began your escape
Now this world cannot hold you anymore!”

Sure there were holes in your story
How else could you have possible escaped?
The truth has no plot when we write it ourselves
We can break through the walls on the page

- Chorus -

We rode the tunnels to the top of the bridge
While the harriers searched for us in vain
The Blood Moon rose upon a decadent world
And two derelicts laughing in the rain
You said “No one believes in Gods down there
and everything is cheaper than it looks”
I said “You look like trouble and you smell like a punk
and I don’t care what’s been written in books

“Because you make me remember when it was all an adventure
and everything was possible and nothing was boring
and what the fuck happened to those days?”

- Chorus -
