Year of the Dog

from Down to My Last Million by Ghost Atlantic

/

lyrics

All of these years have come to weigh you down,
Reflected in the windows of your sleepy town.

Everything comes in bottles,
And that’s where we find ourselves.

I can almost hear them when the story comes out,
A river of lies falling out of their mouths.
Writing your name within a coffee ring,
In all of my dreams you’re killing me.
Tear away skin and let the sun warm your bones,
These steel strings have become your own.

Everything comes in bottles,
And that’s where we find ourselves.

They tell me I don’t speak enough,
Maybe everyone here talks too much.
Hanging onto the words of stars,
As we drive discontinued cars.

Secrets in the walls have never been found,
This house grows loud when the sun goes down.

There’s a giant silhouette moving through the trees
A rusting presence only I can see
These quiet places that we once loved
Will soon be overrun by the class above
Trap-doors fall open and drop you in
I only get a smile when you need something

Everything comes in bottles,
And that’s where we find ourselves.

They tell me I don’t speak enough,
Maybe everyone here talks too much.
Hanging onto the words of stars,
As we drive discontinued cars.

Secrets in the walls have never been found,
This house grows loud when the sun goes down.

You’re not breathing
But you’re still singing
The Shrine of Saint Cecilia
