lyrics

Infrared
(Anton Sword)

Got the wrong sized leash out for your heart
All my favorite speeches fell apart
Like the leaves in an old library
And as the words dissolve they’re taking me
To the cold wind rolling off the park
Up to the starpoint shining in the dark
Where the windowpane is burning black
And the midnight’s backbone doubles back

I’ve gone infrared again and you’ll be found
Sure as the second hand comes around
Oh you’re a tricky one, but I’ll still win
I’ll make your endings all begin again
Just turn the fleet around, back to the bay
And there’ll be nothing left to say

On a doubt I jumped and was impaled
Had it all and lost it for a nail
I hung myself a picture out to dry
Hiding a safe with its own key inside
My sentence is too short to pick the lock
My words are so important, no they’re not

Where the hills roll up into the green
There’s a forest that you’ve never seen
If you let me I will take you there
If you let me I will make you care
Or you can stay inside your maze, you architect
But I’ll still crawl in like an insect
