Slowburn

We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
 Bewildered, burnt out, hardly able
 To sit astride the high wire cable
 It's hard to balance, a little unstable
 Through broken eyes and contact lenses
 I watched you draw your future tenses
 See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
 You're back telling me your Apocalypse
 But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
 When the slowburn sunset comes along
 You've gotta stay the night
 
 I gotta think that you might

 We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
 We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
 But the words fell like hailstones bouncing at our feet
 Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet
 A chance to move, I take a shot
 I get cold, you get hot
 We look outside, lyin' awake
 See birds breaking surface on a silent lake
 But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
 When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon
 Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
 When the slow burn sunset comes along
 You've got to stay the night
 I've got to think you might

 Don't try to make it easy, it'll cut you down to size
 Darlin' we've got to trust in something
 We're shooting down our skies

 Shooting down
 Shooting down our skies
