Bright Eyes - The Awful Sweetness Of Escaping Sweet lyrics

Your rating:

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

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,

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



And isn't it the same mistake?

And isn't it the same mistake?

And isn't it the same mistake?

It's not much of an escape

And isn't it the same? 



We awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warm

Close the blinds and retreat till what is burning is gone

And it's 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, its fear 

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 you scream but I made no reply

I can still

Taste it now

If I try
