lyrics

Arms of the Dark

We dissolve in the arms of the dark
That surround us
Codeine sleepiness follow us
Hills alive with the hum of pylons
Time to fly outside and dare the
Dreams we lit last night

The night is a cloth of stars
A blanket for the curious
A pillow of amnesia
A whiskey glass of lead
Please turn off the kitchen light
There’s a full moon and satellites
Gas clouds and pale moth wings
A life outside the sun

We’re not scared of the heart of the dark
That surrounds us, drugged sunk Dinosaurs and paramours
Don’t let’s sleep till this glow is fully gone
On the ink black flight from
Our beds out to the moon

Don't let go of my shirt
I may fall to the ground
I won't let go of your shirt
You won't fall, you won't fall

Please turn off the kitchen light
There’s a full moon and satellites
Gas clouds and pale moth wings
A life outside the sun
