in the silence of the shelter
I am melting by the fire
tired of fighting in the fallout
and I brace myself
what did the prophet say
now or on another day
will the aliens reveal themselves
from outside or in
I'd like to see you one last time
before it all ends
relinquish the hate we saved under the stairs
while there's time to work it out
till sky fills our view
try and keep still
adrift in disposable gloves
and the radio fuzz
will you hold out when you're all on your own
how long will you last when the cockroaches roam
up to your eyes in food and supplies
bottled water and dread
we wake feeling the same
heavy together rotating
in the aftermath of an accident with no witnesses
I'd like to see you one last time
before it all ends
relinquish the hate we saved under the stairs
while there's time to work it out
till sky fills our view
try and keep still
adrift in disposable gloves
and the radio fuzz
night sky window lights
lead the way to the sacrifice
how do we get there with legs and arms tied
hats on display just another strange day
so follow the black brick road
take someone's hand dots on the globe
we came here out of nothing
and nothing will do it again
I'd like to see you one last time
before it all ends
relinquish the hate we saved under the stairs
while there's time to work it out
till sky fills our view
try and keep still
adrift in disposable gloves
and the radio fuzz
tear out the heart
offer it whole
and let me leave it clean
searching for signs in the underworld
will you let me leave it
let me
and I'll try and keep still
try and keep still
try and keep still
in the radio fuzz
in the radio fuzz
in the radio radio radio radio fuzz
