Lyrics : Fire Escape
Meet me out by the fire escape
It's been forty nights and forty days
I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
I chewed my fingers to the bone today
Oh, won't you come around?
Meet me by the fire escape
Untie this tied tongue tie
What is it that I want to say?
What is it that I really want to say?
What are the words I've been choking on
Hoping someone will articulate?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no, that's some murky water
Alright, we're in the trenches now
I don't know when the party's over
All I know is I'm getting out somehow
Oh, what a fever dream
Meet me out by the fire escape
Join the procession down the alleyway, oh
Our freedom's a joke and we've got debts to pay
How many waves until the levee breaks?
Oh, won't you come around?
Meet me by the fire escape
Untie this tied tongue tie
What is it that we want to say?
What is it that we really want to say?
What are the dreams we've been choking on
Hoping someone will articulate?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no, that's some murky water
Alright, we're in the trenches now
I don't know how the story ends
But the pages just turn over then turn over again
And redemption's always outta sight and just around the bend
And the outcome doesn't match with what it is that I intend
Like a stack of books grows and gathers dust beside the bed
Or the disconnect between what people do and what they've said
And I wanna read the news maybe without losing my head
Oh, what a fever dream
Meet me out by the fire escape
It's been forty nights and forty days
I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
I chewed my fingers to the bone today
It's been forty nights and forty days
I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
I chewed my fingers to the bone today
Oh, won't you come around?
Meet me by the fire escape
Untie this tied tongue tie
What is it that I want to say?
What is it that I really want to say?
What are the words I've been choking on
Hoping someone will articulate?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no, that's some murky water
Alright, we're in the trenches now
I don't know when the party's over
All I know is I'm getting out somehow
Oh, what a fever dream
Meet me out by the fire escape
Join the procession down the alleyway, oh
Our freedom's a joke and we've got debts to pay
How many waves until the levee breaks?
Oh, won't you come around?
Meet me by the fire escape
Untie this tied tongue tie
What is it that we want to say?
What is it that we really want to say?
What are the dreams we've been choking on
Hoping someone will articulate?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no, that's some murky water
Alright, we're in the trenches now
I don't know how the story ends
But the pages just turn over then turn over again
And redemption's always outta sight and just around the bend
And the outcome doesn't match with what it is that I intend
Like a stack of books grows and gathers dust beside the bed
Or the disconnect between what people do and what they've said
And I wanna read the news maybe without losing my head
Oh, what a fever dream
Meet me out by the fire escape
It's been forty nights and forty days
I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
I chewed my fingers to the bone today
