lirik lagu running to persia – gin
3 am silence is burning
each breath like a wasp in the nest
that stings in the walls of my ribcage
a weight pulling down on my chest.
and the wolves at my door have gone wild
their voices scream lonely and thin
but they sound like a choir of angels
when i’m hollow enough to give in.
there’s a girl i drank heavy to cure me.
bared her heart for me once and again
but she don’t keep me warm in the winter
guess i mistook her for gin.
there’s a voice i can’t place but it soothes me
coming over the car radio
like the way she first told me she loved me
her eyes coming up from the floor.
and at night i sleep like a traitor
my heart rests a th-rn in my side
and i bite on the words i remember
of a pretty young poet who died.
that a door open wide is an ocean
i’m gone on my way to get lost
and i can’t tell a window from eyes anymore
i can’t tell the tears from the frost.
and i’m dizzy and drowning and down on my luck
i’m in love with the lights in a blur.
she steals me a glance and i buy her a drink
and we sit with our backs to the curb
and the door open wide is an ocean
and she tells me to jump and i swim
broke through the window, her eyes to the floor.
guess i mistook her for gin.
