Austerity

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I thought things would take off but they cooled down Your voice on the phone, I hear traffic behind Violent rain outside looking out Looking up, a fragment of sky Looking to leave, transmit and deceive [Pre-Chorus] Kill off the fortune-tellers [Chorus] You say that woe is always on your mind You drag me back in for a breath of comfort No longer telling wrong from right The ghost-like horizon of your eye [Verse 2] I hear things aren't well since you sold me out I remember you clear, your rituals of doubt With city lights from 1988 Sprinkled like dust on your window pane [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] You say that woe is always on your mind You drag me back in for a breath of comfort No longer telling wrong from right The ghost-like horizon of your eye [Bridge] Maelstrom I'm drifting away, I'm staying under You fall back To aged ideals controlled by thunder Ruled by dishonor Come, feel, I am not real [Chorus] Woe is always on your mind You dragged me back in for a breath of comfort No longer telling wrong from right The ghost-like horizon of your eye
