Blacked Out (Cover)

We were such strange creatures
Burning such a fever

Eager for that ether
And smiling into seizures

We were both believers
We were big dreamers

The weight of this old cleaver ?
Made us grown meaner

All my clocks move in erratic beats 
The Clicks, and Clicks, and Clicks;
the rhythm's rising bleak
There’s only vertigo from these huge heights
Only blinded eyes from these bright lights

That’s how I know we are

Blacked out backed out and broken down.
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground.
Cut up caught up coughing up a lung.
Brightened blaze and these flames weigh a ton.
Can’t ignore the buzzing.
Can’t turn down the sounds.
Can’t soothe the stinging.
Can’t dry out the drowned.
Blacked out backed out and broken down.
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground. 

Every minute forward is another into forever.
But time heals nothing; moments serve to sever.
Remembering December, all the pressure, 
Your displeasure, your displeasure

The flowers are still wilted, blossoms dried up and died.
tattered letters received and unsent
tracing arcs, rise and descent

Dissent / discontent. Changes underwent.
First impressions worn to dust; we both misrepresent.
The rain turned into steam. Our stitching frayed at the seams.
They always say that hope floats, but ours washed away downstream. 
What are memories on lonely nights?
Where is the comfort, the comfort in unyielding spite?

All my clocks move in erratic beats 
The Clicks, and Clicks, and Clicks;
the rhythm's rising bleak
There’s only vertigo from these huge heights
Only blinded eyes from these bright lights

That’s how I know we are

Blacked out backed out and broken down.
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground.
Cut up caught up coughing up a lung.
Brightened blaze and these flames weigh a ton.
Can’t ignore the buzzing.
Can’t turn down the sounds.
Can’t soothe the stinging.
Can’t dry out the drowned.
Blacked out backed out and broken down.
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground.

We Watch the lightning break - as we go down.
There's nothing here for us now
There's nothing here for us now
We Watch the lightning break - as we go down.
There's nothing here for us now
There’s nothing, there’s nothing
