False Bride - Vaboh

Help me stay awake I'm falling asleep And I don't want to fall asleep While you're here You're gonna leave when the alarm clock beeps And it will beep any moment My dear And all that we have will be locked into memory Like everything that we've had before So I will stay awake And I'll watch the fire burning And keep the hungry wolves from the door Help me find my way back to the bread crumbs I've wandered alone through the trees The lights are dimming in the windows of the houses And my heart is starting to freeze See we have light but we won't use it We're scared we'll lose it if we don't use it Then we'll die here in the dark And they will find us hopeless and helpless And clutching our frozen hearts But you and I, well we'll be buried side by side And time, it won't mean a thing I'll be your underground groom You'll be my underground bride Please can you help me keep my head above the water? I have cramp in both of my calves Yeah my lungs are filling up with cold dirty water But I've a sickness that is making me laugh See we have a boat but we don't think it We're scared we'll sink it but we'll drink it If we never find that raft We will sink down to the bottom of the ocean With the fishes that glow in the dark But you and I well we'll sink down side by side And time it won't mean a thing I'll be your underwater groom You'll be my underwater bride And oh the lights are fading my love And oh the water's filling me up Oh the lights are fading my love

And in the end we caught our weevil bride She was arraigned in garments' genocide We took her home to where our mirror stood, Like she knew we would so she smiles She sings oo-oo-oo, I've been here before Many years ago, before the war And it goes on and on and on until you're gone And I just need to know that everything is fine and everyone's alright They take our tongues and give us guns, Two coins for the ferryman for when you're gone The weight of souls drives his boat ashore and he sails no more Staring out across the end he sings oo-oo-oo I've never been here before, Even years ago after the war It goes on and on and on until you're gone I just need to know that everything is fine and everyone's alright Chiseling the granite from our dusty eyelids, Harvesting the stones we throw We caught a virus from the periscope inside us, We caught a virus from the periscope We caught a virus from the periscope inside us, We caught a virus, we caught a virus Star-struck freeze frame capture that coin-flip fateful harmony-muted feedback With your cold hands on the foreheads, So feverish and frantic, While madmen lay your landmines in the ballroom And I want some, yes please Send us back as amputees with starry rags and shiny things Let me back into the sun How many times must all this be said? On and on until we're gone, we're all children of light cut from the same thread
