Sleeping Cranes
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Staring through night to your eyelids
2
Bathed the white moon's morose
3
Both swearing that we were content with
4
The ending we couldn't compose
5
Your touch couldn't combat the imminent
6
And my fumbling words were just mist
7
In the face of such distance
8
I believed that I would just forget
9
But I still see your ghost on the pavement
10
Slithering the streets with the snow
11
And each moment we stood in that streetlight
12
Swells out of any string's steady bow
13
I thought the misery that tied us together
14
Would starve in its romanticized youth
15
But I'm not sure I'll ever love anyone
16
The way I never loved you
17
I'd still sell my soul for a new map
18
To draw me from these catacombs
19
To destroy this splint I've been nursing
20
And carve me a path to my home
21
But that house still erodes gently
22
Underneath each day's oppressing weight
23
And I know that I traffic alone now
24
In this glorified interstate break
25
These blueprints I'd drafted for new states
26
Emerged a cold, splintered mess
27
I dragged the snow and dead streets to the courthouse
28
But the bastards refused to confess
29
Bestowing upon my reflection
30
A myriad of free cold readings
31
Sitting motionless atop my
32
Windmill cartoon feet
33
The days have carved lines in my cheekbones
34
Pushing my face past its age
35
Souring the South for a sweat lodge
36
Still hoping someday I'll be saved
37
Two wolves are at odds in the parlor
38
Their noses at the backs of my knees
39
My indifference, my self-love
40
Just depends on the one that I feed
41
My capillaries sprawl with congestion
42
From chemicals and warm nicotine
43
And when the weed is all out of forgiveness
44
I'll be baptized in the winding creek
45
They'll peel my head out from the black banks
46
The mortar will rot from my doors
47
I'll unearth grace without mandate
48
And I'll shackle myself nevermore.
