lyrics

Well I watched my heroes fall
I saw them crumble one and all
And a chorus of “NO’s”
From a gallery of those
Who will never see so straight or stand so tall

All the guardian angels
The blanket forts and fake hells
All told me to sacrifice myself
On a funeral pyre with my body on fire
I sat straight up and cast off all the spells

With the gates open wide and my lover in sight
I called her name out loud in the middle of the night
And the dawn it breaks and the morning’s warm embrace
Illuminates my lover’s face

Well my sisters went very South and West and I went East
We’re all still fighting off our demons in our sleep
We cascade to the coasts
Where we mostly can boast
That we are living better than well

But Maria, when are you gonna settle down?
I see your pictures and the question practically answers itself
When the back car seats on lower tiers that we have known for years
Have finally had their way with all of us

I was terrified and dry and wide eyed
All sentimental
I rubbed the fog with my sleeve off of the early morning window
And the dawn it breaks and the morning’s warm embrace
Illuminates my lover’s face
It illuminates my future face
