lyrics

Here in the lavender glow
Of a thousand indoor billboards and overfed souls
I was waiting for a call from the end of the world
I was waiting by the station, empowered, alone

I was waiting for the systems to stop gutting us
always smiling
Here on the cusp of darkness, forever trying
dressed as the belle of the ball (you were always trying)
yes, must be dead all along (you were always trying)

Here in the afternoon glow
of a thousand miles distances away from home
I was waiting for a call from a friend maybe more
I was waiting all alone, redesigned, bought and sold

I was waiting for the windows to stop keeping the rain outside
My skin is dried up, there's no comfort at all
the belle of the ball, sedated and always smiling
neutralizing rhythms I feel nothing at all

Here in the lavender glow
of a thousand indoor billboards and monied out souls
I was waiting for a call from the edge of the world
I was waiting at my station, empowered, alone

I was waiting for the billboards to stop
gutting us, always smiling
fabricating reasons to feel something at all
the belle of the ball was dead all along
bumping like a hurricane, I can't keep my blood from gushing out

When I filled my perscription
with your comfort and progress
we fell into a slumber
feeling much less encumbered
