Change (In the House of Flies)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They say all the insects are dying But I'm not sure I believe them (I watched you change) All the pretty ones, maybe The bees, and the mantises, and butterflies (Into a fly) They'll all disappear with the flowers and the crops, but Cockroaches? Mosquitoes? (I looked away) They'll be here as long as our blood is Flies will be here as long as our shit is (You were on fire) [Chorus] And I watched a change in you It's like you nеver had wings Now you feel so alive I've watchеd you change [Verse 2] I think it'll be just like the absence of a toothache So good that you don't even notice (I took you home) But we're never good with quiet Let alone being by ourselves (Set you on the glass) We're not ourselves when we're alone When the wood comes off, when the cross comes down (I pulled off your wings) It's only our angel doubles We're finally all abandoned (Then I laughed) [Chorus] And I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now you feel so alive I've watched you change [Bridge] It's like you never had wings (I look at the cross) And now we're driving again Our windshields like crystals so efficiently slicing through the silent air (Then I look away) I always search for those half-reflections in a bottle of glass though I see nothing (Give you the gun) Just the brittle fact that we're also all at once both beaten down and dying (Blow me away) [Chorus] And I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now you feel so alive I've watched you change It's like you never had wings
