lyrics

stuck between a house and a home
things are not things that can call me their own
gods are guns and war is free
but all that I want is the sun and the moon and you and me
you and me

spaces filled of dark are lost
of air to breathe free in our lungs
you were there when it all went up
and the smoke set and the bones were just stuff

we rust and it's over

fill the jails and lock the doors
the tv screens can shut off no more
heavy sighs from a hospital bed
don't worry love, there's wires in your head

the moon is down it cries for you
hope that one day you will cry for it too
in the chill of a summer rain
they will open their doors and they'll call you insane

but if we rust it is over
