lyrics

Night Turns Into Night

who would follow you
who would bother
who would chase you down
who would bother
who would hunt you down
who would bother

the dogs who have your scent
are not dogs at all
the men who want your secrets
are not men at all

and the lace in your head
is just lace
and the silk in your skull
is strong enough
to hold secrets
but the men who want secrets
aren’t men at all
and you know damn well
that you have nothing they want

you could kill for a gun
and die for a bullet

there are men who want everything
there are hands that take everything
but you don’t really have anything they want

chorus
you’ll escape down the alleyways
you’ll confuse the kiss in your dreams
for a mouth full of screams
you’ll confuse a pen full of ink
for a tree full of blight
and you’ll stand all alone
yes you’ll stand all alone
and watch the night slowly turn into night




you know that god
was a gift from your mother
you know how quickly
a face can turn from another
you know the secret of snow
as it falls through a streetlight
and the beauty of the rain
as it falls in her eyes
you know the words
the wind whispers as it dies
you know the secrets of knives
you know the secrets of skin
you know the name of the noise
and you’ve kissed
the mouth of the din
you know the sisters of sleep
yeah you know all their names
but i know
that you know
that the men at your back
want none of these things

you know
you have nothing they want
but still they come x 3
you could die for a bullet
or kill for a gun

chorus
you’ll get lost in the allies
that twist in your dreams
you confuse all the screams
for a kiss made of steam
you’ll confuse the beautiful glow
of a fetch light
for a moon
that is full and bright
and you’ll stand all alone
yes you’ll stand all alone
and watch the night slowly turn into night
