we Dmescape from the house
as the day dissapears from the Amsky
Into night
we bacame what we wanted to Cbe
like a Gdream or a Amghost
i Dmcollapse out of turn
near a house
lying still in the Amgrass and felt the heat from the ground
rising up to contrCact and expGand like a Ambreath
we Dmescape from that place
soaked with sweat and the poison we Amdrank
fill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will Cbreak
like a Gheart
Ameasily
but i Dmdo not recall all the Gwords that were formed
on those Amwire lips as they greeted me
a Dmpromise was made witout Gthought as the temperature Amclimbed
and i Dmstarted to sink like the Gmoon
tends to do if you Amstare Eat Cit Emtoo Glong
then you Eblink and it's Amgone
and we Ccrawl to our Gsleep with the Amdawn
Dm Am repeated with "isn't it the same mistake"
i Dmawake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly Amwarm
close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is Cgone
and it's Glight is Amaway
the we are Dmback in the dark
chasing nothing through backyards and Amtrees
you ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get Cme
yeah it's Gfear
it makes you so Amlow
and these Dmcreatures look crooked
their shadows cut lines through my Amface and the concrete is fire
where my bare feet are Cplaced
in a Gline next to Amyours
and i Dmguess i'm not sure if it was Gfear that was born
as those Amawful eyes made their claim on us
i put my Dmhands on the fence
said your Gname
and i started to Amclimb
and it Dmmust have been sweat but i Gdrank it like wine
it was Amsweet, Emy Cmouth Emwas Gdry
i heard you Escream but i made no Amreply
i can Cstill taste it Gnow if i Amtry

Chords in this song · guitar

we escape from the house

as the day dissapears from the sky

Into night

we bacame what we wanted to be

G Am

like a dream or a ghost

i collapse out of turn

near a house

lying still in the grass and felt the heat from the ground

C G Am

rising up to contract and expand like a breath

we escape from that place

soaked with sweat and the poison we drank

fill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will break

like a heart

easily

Dm G

but i do not recall all the words that were formed

on those wire lips as they greeted me

Dm G Am

a promise was made witout thought as the temperature climbed

Dm G

and i started to sink like the moon

Am E C Em G

tends to do if you stare at it too long

E Am

then you blink and it's gone

C G Am

and we crawl to our sleep with the dawn

Dm Am repeated with "isn't it the same mistake"

Dm Am

i awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warm

close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is gone

G Am

and it's light is away

the we are back in the dark

chasing nothing through backyards and trees

you ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get me

yeah it's fear

it makes you so low

and these creatures look crooked

their shadows cut lines through my face and the concrete is fire

where my bare feet are placed

G Am

in a line next to yours

Dm G

and i guess i'm not sure if it was fear that was born

as those awful eyes made their claim on us

i put my hands on the fence

said your name

and i started to climb

Dm G

and it must have been sweat but i drank it like wine

Am E C Em G

it was sweet, my mouth was dry

E Am

i heard you scream but i made no reply

C G Am

i can still taste it now if i try
