The Awful Sweetness Of Escaping Sweat — текст песни (bright eyes)


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 try
