The Darkened Edges Lyrics

You set off the alarm again

Looking good in stripes

There still some oxygen left

If you hurry on outside

We realized it's hopeless

To push this boat across the pond

Might as well walk away

Before our will is gone

You crowded into the bus

Set your paper bag on your lap

Took out a notebook

And wrote mercy, mercy oh please

Fifteen times

For the petite bourgeoisie

I don't quite know what's true

Throwing it all back at you

Waking in the attic closet

Scratching the window film

Extinguishing those memories

Like they're a fire drill

Got a lot to do now

But we're out of time

There's a sense of acceptance

Spreading over us

We're open for business

But on another frontier

And the darkened edges

Tell you it's done

Get out of the station

Before the bell tower melts

Take off your blindfold

Find your way back to bed
