lyrics

I get off the greyhound round 9:45
Twelve hours after the stop in St. Cloud
I hold off the cold with a bottle of wine
And spin up some stories to read you aloud
In the back of my mind it's alive and it's evil
With whispering history withering harm
But I throw you a smirk when I finally see you
And fall from the station and into your arms

People don't keep enough secrets these days
Or the secrets we keep aren't enough to inspire
We keep up and catalog all of the ways
Our fantasies fail to fulfill our desires
But follow me back to the cabin I live in
Find us together let us commune
Our fantasies can't hide the fire that's within
Our surfaces never will shine like the moon's

And when it's finally over we're lying in bed
And we're both trying to know that we've done the right thing
And we're sad in the heart and we're sick in the head
And we both wanna know what the future will bring
I'll whisper the secret and you'll understand
And the horror will spread across both of our faces
To settle down deep on our dearest of plans
We are celebate beings in constant embraces

Take us back to the churches our grandmothers made
Take us back to our childhood broken and gone
Take us back to the saints that we knew when we prayed
Take us back to the clouds that we saw in the dawn
They are done plotting they're starting to rise
The death of your friends the rise of your foes
but I've planted a powerful spell in your eyes
To nurture your body wherever it goes
