the cardboard city - blankface lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the child has returned; the child is in bed
the street is asleep; the potholes are red
the rooftops are bare; the rooftops are dark
the sky is on fire; the shadows are stark
the hour is enc-mbered; the hour is in fog
the bookshelf is rising; i’m listless, agog
the dustmites have spoken; the chinches are wise
the spiders are craven; the crickets tell lies

[verse 2]
the corners have folded; the edges are shrunk
the doorbell is broken; the silence is drunk
a crack has appeared; a rift is in sight
a stench wafts about; and in creeps a light
three blistering shrieks; three curdling yells
three stabbing entreaties, from three separate h-lls
it’s terribly late; it’s terribly wrong
there’s something destructive; your mind plays along

[verse 3]
the dream is forgotten; the dream was a joke
the truth is d-mnation; it’s smothered in smoke
a thousand years over; a thousand sharp cuts
a twist of a hammer; the orifice shuts
your veins are all empty; your sockets are dry
these words have no echoes; they merely p-ss by
it’s nothing to think of; it’s nothing to mourn
regretting is futile; come feed me your scorn
