Gabriel Peter Slowburn Lyrics

Slowburn Lyrics

We're character actors from the Tower of Babel

 Bewildered, burned out hardly able

 To sit astride the high wire cable

 It's hard to balance, a little unstable.

 

 Through broken eyes and contact lenses

 (I) Watched you draw your future tenses

 See kisses of flame blow out of your lips

 You're back telling me your Apocalypse.

 

 Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

 When the slowburn sunset come along

 You've gotta stay the night

 I gotta think that you might.

 

 We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills

 We've tried making movies from a volume of stills

 (But) the words fell like hailstones,

 bouncing at our feet,

 Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.

 

 A chance to move, I take a shot

 I get cold - you get hot

 We look outside, lyin' awake

 See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.

 

 But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

 When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon

 Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong

 When the slow burn sunset come along

 You've got to stay the night

 I've got to think that you might.

 

 Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size

 Darlin' we've got to trust in something

 We're shooting down our skies

 shooting down (shooting down) our skies

 (shooting down our ...)
