I saw your father in the hall His ghost is living in the walls I heard him crying while you slept I heard him breaking things after you left I watched you crawl into my bed With curses spilling from your head You said "We're just the walking dead" So I pulled the trigger and we floated off Into the air Into the air Into the air Into the air Up in the air We're in the air Up in the air Up in the air I used to worry about the time That I lost my teeth along the line So I carved the apple from my eye And gave it to you before I went away Blood ran into the kitchen sink Your hand and lives are running pink I sat and watched you as your ring Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor They cut your eyes wide open And bore into your precious head My reach don't go that far dear But please oh please don't let them in I sank into the sea Wrapped in piano strings Few words could open me But you knew them all Now I just sleep beneath your floor My ghost just tries to keep you warm I've seen the end, I've lost the war One day you'll join me here just like the rest I hear the engines They're roaring in our mouths The smell of creatures Are clawing tooth and nail to get out I see the airplanes They're pouring from your chest They fill the air And burn and bury you just like the rest
