A stormy summer
Is rolling closer
Lighting up this holy smoker
And if this drinking
Could ease the thinking
I'd toast to my home truth
With this glass
Chorus:
Oh, rise, you promises broken
Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words
That are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain.
Little pin-pricks
And how my ears bleed
On the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat
In every life-flash
In every car crash
I hear the silence waiting to fall
chorus
For all I carry
Are murdered secrets
The price of my blue star-eyed weakness
And so we travel
And we unravel
Towards the place where all loose ends go
chorus
