Cross Out the Eyes Thursday

[Verse 1]
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

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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
