[Verse 1]
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
When you slipped it into my mouth
I closed my eyes and held it in
And then I exhaled it out
The glow of the downtown lights
Casting shadows across your face
As if all the buildings knew
I could only know half of you
And I was a snake under your flowers
I just wanted to disappear
Into the understory of your beauty
Never to reappear
But there's a name writ on your cast
Above the bruised and broken bones
It tells everybody that you meet
To whom the damage is owed
[Chorus]
Wе rode a wave of white noisе
Beneath the city sleeping
I saw the train doors closing
I felt your sorrow deepen
Here in the asphalt meadows
There's only one thing that grows
Finding the light through the concrete
Getting trampled under our feet
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
When you slipped it into my mouth
I closed my eyes and held it in
And then I exhaled it out
The glow of the downtown lights
Casting shadows across your face
As if all the buildings knew
I could only know half of you
And I was a snake under your flowers
I just wanted to disappear
Into the understory of your beauty
Never to reappear
But there's a name writ on your cast
Above the bruised and broken bones
It tells everybody that you meet
To whom the damage is owed
[Chorus]
Wе rode a wave of white noisе
Beneath the city sleeping
I saw the train doors closing
I felt your sorrow deepen
Here in the asphalt meadows
There's only one thing that grows
Finding the light through the concrete
Getting trampled under our feet
