lyrics

eyes open one day
eyes closed another
eyes open once more and we're
staring at our hands
pressure on our wrists
pulling in the forearms
pricks in the elbows
pops in the shoulders
twisting in the spines
holding tired heads
in our hands swaying
back and forth back and forth back and forth
back and forth back and forth back and for--

caught alone in public
caught alone at home
caught with the scars that we drew that we
never should've shown
stare up from our desks
at the people all around
wonder if they see us
or if we're already gone
catch us fantasizing on it
catch us too tired to stop
catch our bodies vibrating
back and forth back and forth back and forth
back and forth back and forth back and for--

wake up in the night
with a vision on my mind
run across the city
for some reason I'm alive
breathing in the dark
with a vision on my mind
run across this city
wonder if you've died
run our bodies are burning
run to the shivering north
run 'cause the stars won't stop turning
back and forth back and forth back and forth
back and forth back and forth back and for--
