about

lyrics

I got written on my skin
Whatever it said on my shirt at the time
And the face I made when the wind changed
Became the one that you know me by

And the bindings on my feet
became the plaque upon my door

Chorus:
And thats how you started to build
Over lines that were easy to draw
Spread yourself between rivers and hills
And lay accident down as the law
And the stones that are worn by your feet
well they happen to lay as they fall
And the names of your winding streets
Are as weak as your city walls

And now I whisper in my ear
Things in a language I no longer know
And I cant decide if they soothe me
Like the places I used to go.

And I strained at my own leash
till my neck was red and raw
