Silvertone

from Turn Up The Dark by David Backshell

/

lyrics

Stepping out in Silvertone, lost my feet to the undertow
The lights leaving, I can't see, I'm grasping at muscle memory.
But nothing's where it used to be

Kerosene kissing my tongue, night eaten what`s left of the sun
Glassy-eyed moonshine, I'm fighting the rising tide
And breaths spilling out in front of me

I can see death on the vine, I feel the briars moving up my spine.
I taste poison on her lips, I close my eyes and in comes the fix.
I'm lost out in the spaces between.

Look at all the sweethearts with places to be
The meters running out no ones waiting on me
