White Lies - Fifty on Our Foreheads lyrics
[White Lies - Fifty on Our Foreheads lyrics]
On the cusp of vessel 18
A look of terror in our eyes
The moonlight licked the face of danger
Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted
With our teardrops
I know you're sad I'm leaving
So this may hurt a little
But, girl, look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You'll see the boy you loved
Start burning in the sky
We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth
No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side
Of morality and youth
We thought about our loved ones
Tallied fifty on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave
Me in the spring the sun beat at the windows
Within an hour James had cracked
Left the ship and died still
Clinging to the wings
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
A look of terror in our eyes
The moonlight licked the face of danger
Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted
With our teardrops
I know you're sad I'm leaving
So this may hurt a little
But, girl, look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You'll see the boy you loved
Start burning in the sky
We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth
No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side
Of morality and youth
We thought about our loved ones
Tallied fifty on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave
Me in the spring the sun beat at the windows
Within an hour James had cracked
Left the ship and died still
Clinging to the wings
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
