The National - Ice Machines lyrics

Cartoons from a television
Whistles from the street
Black out curtains, summer sirens
Electricity

I don't need ice machines
I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything

Finally start to make connections
When everything goes dark
It's pulling me in all directions
It's tearing you apart

I don't need ice machines
I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything but I do

What am I doing? Watching clouds
This space is too empty this room's too hot
What am I doing? Wandering halls
Ringing doorbells pounding walls

I don't know what to say to people
It only makes things worse
It's timе to take my silent treatmеnt
This won't be the first

I don't need ice machines
I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything but I do

What am I doing? Watching clouds
This space is too empty this room's too hot
What am I doing? Wandering halls
Ringing doorbells pounding walls

A rock fell from orbit
I rolled across the carpet
Threw some flowers on the wall
And leaned in on my shoulders

What am I doing? Watching clouds
This space is too empty this room's too hot
What am I doing? Wandering halls
Ringing doorbells pounding walls
What am I doing? Watching clouds
This space is too empty this room's too hot
What am I doing? Wandering halls
Ringing doorbells pounding walls
What am I doing? Watching clouds
This space is too empty this room's too hot
What am I doing? Wandering halls
Ringing doorbells pounding walls
