lyrics

no one slept at all
we paced the halls and made some calls
is it possible they would never stand for
all this fretting and frimming and sweating
i’m thinning...
yeah it’s possible
and so we’ve gone it all alone
and made it known this is what we own
to hear the glow through the walls to the route
on my roof through the panes of your back window
for the ticking and pricking we’re wicking our brows
cool down all night while the lights are out
with our ears pressed firm for a scream
or a moan or a shout or a wink
well we lost the tone
so the bad boy steps to the moon from the womb
and we see we couldn’t buy ourselves a doubt
but his fists are blue
and it’s on the news
and it’s everything that you thought you knew
but it’s the same for all these years
and your hands are in the flames
it has sustained for all these years
and no one can burn me out
because we’ve been saints for all these years
no one can quite complain
so we’ll be devils a thousand years and no one will lose control
is it possible?
yeah it’s possible
so the boy can take his early breaths
coming up from the depth all these eyes are wet
and the sleeves are loose
we have heard the truth coming through the walls
going through the roof
and when we hear that sound it’s out
oh lord, the dust...
tell us only how
we’ll get the silver out
and when the brooms fill the rooms
then, maybe then, you’ll remember our noons
they are contained in this right here
misshapen, aloft and all
such a stain that won’t adhere
and all of you knew this
that we’ve been saints for all these years
but no one would quite complain
so we’ll be devils a thousand years
and no one will lose control
is it possible?
yeah it’s possible
