Select language to translate this lyric
Eyes are playing tricks on me
See figures in the branches
Window frame, amphibian,
Feathers underneath my skin
Nerves are shredded endlessly
I cannot trust the shadows
Sound of every turning leaf
Adding to the clamour
Perfect day reflected on my wall
I try to trace it
All I got was paint under my nails
And bleeding fingers
Echoes of the birds are building
Chambers in the canopy
Catching flies and hammering
Our teeth together endlessly
All I ever wanted was to be your
Ready fire escape
Holding fast against your walls
No one falls, I know my place
All the night I walked the streets of
Distant towns I've never been
Wrote my name on every sign
Show you the way back to me
Holding on, forgotten days
I should have read the warning signs
Throw your mattress out the window
Be my safety net this time
All the night I walked the streets of
Distant towns I've never been
Wrote my name on every sign
Show you the way back to me
All I ever wanted was to be your
Ready fire escape
Holding fast against your walls
No one falls, I know my place
