Thursday - Cross Out the Eyes lyrics

Let's call this the quiet city:
Where screams are felt as
A wave of stoplights
Drive through the streets as
Gunshots punctuate the night
The sides we take divide us from our faith
And the morning dove gets caught
In the telephone wire

Asleep you set the fire in your own house
And the night was a knife that cut
And I'm paralyzed

Cross out the eyes blur all the lines
Tearing this canvas from the wall
We crossed out the eyes
Put lines through these cries
We pulled all the leaves from
The trees that fall

Trees that fall trees that fall
Trees that fall trees that fall

A silent dance that we did
Into this hospital bed
Hear voices from another room
"It happens all the time"
But July in the sand the leaves falling
And counting down our days to live
Drain the blood from this valentine

"We can rise on the wings of the dove
See blue skies getting caught in the
Trail of all this smoke
We can rise like candles in the dark
Yours always"
And an envelope marked with your new address

Asleep you set the fire in your own house
And the night was a knife that cut
And I'm paralyzed

Cross out the eyes blur all the lines
Tearing this canvas from the wall
We crossed out the eyes
Put lines through these cries
We pulled all the leaves from
The trees that fall

Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines
Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines

It was the first time face to face
I'm crossing the line
Talking to the other side of death
Hearing the words that choke
Memories into flatlines
I'm calling your name hoping for something to
Wash these dreams of you away (Can't we die)
(Memories in flatlines)

Cross out the eyes with a set of these lines
Cross out the eyes with a set of these lines!

(Cross out the eyes)
Our fence was blown down in a
Winter storm and this field
(Cross out the eyes)
Stretches out of this world into the sound
(A trace of) what can we do to put a
Stop to these coming white days
(A love song) i'm hoping the snow will wash
These dreams of you away
(Stretches out of this world
Let's drive back the dead
Stretches out of this world
Stretches out of this world)
