La Dispute - Only Everything Below lyrics
[La Dispute - Only Everything Below lyrics]
Both butterflies and dragonflies have wings
Like when you sing
I swear you hit two different notes but
They don't harmonize as clean as
When you speak
There is a rhythm in the scraping
Of your tongue along your teeth
That comes across as well as hell
Inside of heaven in a feast
Of flies and anything with wings that
Tries to sing but where
You ripped two different holes, see
It won't cauterize as cleanly as you think
And if you listen to the rhythm in your sleep
You can hear me speaking
"You are a wolf to me"
Don't believe your ears nor trust
Your mouth I think that
Every single feeble doubt-soaked
Promise of trust had a mind to leave you
Out in the rain with your
Hands to the train tracks
Pulling the ropes with your teeth
But, you're too weak and you're too tired
Child lay down, I will tear all
The ghosts from your dreams, from the dream
Oh, king, you've stepped on the wrong crack
Rejoice! It is beating still
Still strong still thundering onward
It turns it's palms up lifts it's voice up
And it speaks says, "I don't know"
He speaks with the speed in the
Clench of a bear trap
Softly rebuilding the castles he'd kept
Says, "There is grace in
A steeple collapsing"
Straightens the sheets on the
Beds where they'd slept
Thinking his love was as passive as flowers
Planted a garden of lies in her chest
Says, "There is grace in
A steeple collapsing"
Pointing the calm in his eyes to the west
To Valinor
Where love was sent on airplane wings
To shake and be shaken
Still, the flowers open as she passes
And the birds, they sing to greet her
Though she heaves blood
Though she heaves blood
Though she heaves blood though she
Though she heaves blood
Though she heaves blood
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
Oh, there is grace in a steeple collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapse
Collapsing
Collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
And he said, "Boy, get your things together
Make them wood and make them stones
And we'll build you a house
There isn't ever any shelter anymore"
Like when you sing
I swear you hit two different notes but
They don't harmonize as clean as
When you speak
There is a rhythm in the scraping
Of your tongue along your teeth
That comes across as well as hell
Inside of heaven in a feast
Of flies and anything with wings that
Tries to sing but where
You ripped two different holes, see
It won't cauterize as cleanly as you think
And if you listen to the rhythm in your sleep
You can hear me speaking
"You are a wolf to me"
Don't believe your ears nor trust
Your mouth I think that
Every single feeble doubt-soaked
Promise of trust had a mind to leave you
Out in the rain with your
Hands to the train tracks
Pulling the ropes with your teeth
But, you're too weak and you're too tired
Child lay down, I will tear all
The ghosts from your dreams, from the dream
Oh, king, you've stepped on the wrong crack
Rejoice! It is beating still
Still strong still thundering onward
It turns it's palms up lifts it's voice up
And it speaks says, "I don't know"
He speaks with the speed in the
Clench of a bear trap
Softly rebuilding the castles he'd kept
Says, "There is grace in
A steeple collapsing"
Straightens the sheets on the
Beds where they'd slept
Thinking his love was as passive as flowers
Planted a garden of lies in her chest
Says, "There is grace in
A steeple collapsing"
Pointing the calm in his eyes to the west
To Valinor
Where love was sent on airplane wings
To shake and be shaken
Still, the flowers open as she passes
And the birds, they sing to greet her
Though she heaves blood
Though she heaves blood
Though she heaves blood though she
Though she heaves blood
Though she heaves blood
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
Oh, there is grace in a steeple collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapse
Collapsing
Collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
There is grace in a steeple collapsing
And he said, "Boy, get your things together
Make them wood and make them stones
And we'll build you a house
There isn't ever any shelter anymore"
