Gallows from Electric Sleep by Between Bodies

Silence,
The royal cul-de-sac.
It shatters you to pieces,
Slowly breaks your neck.
And all the sweating,
All the shivering we’ve done is worthless.
Longing for a warmth that only fire can give.
You're just as dead, bring on the gasoline.
We're burning to be seen.

Your soup has gone cold. My drink’s warmed up.
Is anyone listening? Cause I think you’re not.
It's this mediocrity of everything
That keeps my eyes shut in the morning.

I´ve seen you
Busy putting holes into the ground.
Making seeds grow to be gallows
To let your fears hang down.
And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving.
You caught me blind in your headlights.
Come find me on the other side.

Silence.
A hallow victory.
Can’t really say how one tells it from defeat.
It’s been a long job piecing this together, love,
A whole that must spell "Death To Us".

We must burn. We must burn.
Drown in the heat.

I´ve seen you
Busy putting holes into the ground.
Making seeds grow to be gallows
To let your fears hang down.
And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving.
You caught me blind in your headlights.
Come find me on the other side.
And I've seen you
Busy putting pins into my eyes
So I can't see where you´re going
Once we´ve said goodbye.
And the cops can go to hell and take us with them.
You caught me blind in your headlights.
I’ll see you in another life.
