Verse 1

Let's call this the quiet city

Where screams are felt

 as a wave of stoplights

 Drive through the streets as

 gunshots punctuate the night

 The sides we take divide

 us from our faith

 And the morning dove gets

 caught in the telephone wire

 Asleep you set the fire

 in your own house

And the night was

 a knife that cut

 And I'm para--

Chorus 1

 --lyzed

Cross out the eyes

Blur all the lines

Tearing this canvas

 from the wall

 We crossed out the eyes

 Put lines through these cries

 We pulled all the leaves

 from the trees that fall

(your trees that fall

your trees that fall

your trees that fall

your trees that fall)

Verse 2

A silent dance that we

did into this hospital bed

 Hear voices from another room

 "It happens all the time"

 but you leave in the sand

 the leaves fallen

 counting down days to live

Drain the blood

 from this valentine!

 "We can rise on the

 wings of the dove

 See blue skies getting caught

 in the trail of all this smoke

 We can rise like candles in

the dark-yours always"

and an envelope marked with

 your new address

 Asleep you set the fire

 in your own house

And the night was

 a knife that cut

 And I'm para--

Chorus 2

 --lyzed

Cross out the eyes

Blur all the lines

Tearing this canvas

 from the wall

 We crossed out the eyes

 Put lines through these cries

 We pulled all the leaves

 from the trees that fall

Bridge

(Cross out the eyes!)

(Blur all the lines!)

(Cries!)

(Repeat)

Interlude

your cries!!

Verse 3

It was the first

time face to face

I'm crossing the line

Talking to the other

side of death

Hearing the words that choke

memories into flatlines

I'm calling your name

hoping for something

to wash these dreams

of you away

Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb C--

(till we die!)

Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb C--

(memories in flatlines!)

Chorus 3

Cross out the eyes when

 you said all these lies

Cross out the eyes when

 you said all these lies

Outro

Fence was blown down in a

 winter storm and this field

(cross out the eyes!)

 Stretches out of this

 world into the sound

 ( trace of!)

What can we do put a stop to

 the coming white days

(In a love song!)

 I'm hoping for something to wash

 these dreams of you away

(Stretches out of this world

Lets drive back the dead

Stretches out of this world

Stretches out of this world)
