Lyrics of 'Cross Out The Eyes' by Thursday

Let's call this the quiet city
where screams are felt as the waves of the stoplights
Drive throught the streets
as gunshots punctuate the night
The sides we take divide us from our faith
and the morning dove gets caught in the telephone wire

Asleep you set the fire in your own house
and the night was a knife the cut
and I'm paralyzed

Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines
Tearing this canvas from the wall
Cross out the eyes, put lines through these crys
Pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall

Yeah trees that fall, trees that fall, trees that fall, fall

The silent dance that we did
Into the hospital bed
Voices from another room
It happens all the time
But July and the sand
The leaves fall and
Counting down the days to live
Drain the blood from this valentine

We can rise on the wings of the dove
Sea blue skys getting caught in the trail of all this smoke
We can rise like candles in the dark
Yours always and the memo marked with your new address

Asleep you set the fire in your own house
And the night was a knife that cut
And I'm paralyzed

Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines
Tearing this canvas from the wall
Cross out the eyes, put lines through these crys
Pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall

Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines, lines
Cross out the eyes, blur all the lines, crys
The eyes, cross, the eyes cross

It was the first time face to face
Crossing the line talking to the other side of death
Hearing the words that choke memorie into flatlines
Calling your name, hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away

Til we die, memories and flatlines
Cross out the eyes til we set off these lines
Cross out the eyes til we set off these lines
Cross out the eyes

Our fence was blown down in a winter storm in this field
(Cross out the eyes)
Stretches out of this world into the sound
(A trace of)
What can we do the put a stop the the coming white days
(A love song)
I'm hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away
