about

A track from our debut record House of Stairs, released in July 2010.

lyrics

when everything i touch turns from gold into soil
when i lose sight of the cross and find faith in oil
when the ground that i till finally starts to boil
right under my dried out feet, under me
i'll yell i'm done, with living city
i'm done with shuffling feet
i've stamped and mailed my final ransom note
i've forgotten about my street, i'm going south
where cornfields yawn with wind like tired mouths
and sharpened teeth run through the ground on plows
where the only beautiful sky is a mushroom cloud

i turn further from you, avoid truth with disgust
and rock back in a creaking chair, with lincoln's tophat a-crowning my head
he keeps the wolves at bay at night, he keeps the wolves at bay at night

storming pearly gates on demon dogs cause we want answers
storming pearly gates on demon dogs cause we want answers now
cause we need answers now
