letra de stainless lullaby - jack hardy

[verse 1]
times lost in misery bent over tables
betrayin’ their sorrows with a kiss
with a warped smile you don’t notice ’cause it happens so slowly
’til it hurts you ’cause it’s too hard to miss
table talk prophets are puking their wisdom
and swallowin’ their medicine whole
the disease has no cure, at least none that it known
or none they’ll let out of control

[chorus]
dream on you strangers while you’re free to escape
while you’re still free to wake up in debt
our souls are all sold to the collectors of garbage
who wind up sweeping that street

[verse 2]
ah, the street lights shine on the asphalt poems
the leftover lines dangling in the drains
why do i desire your innocence, despise your blindness
when i know that you can’t see that pain?
but that’s life and life’s cheap unless it is your own
but even that is gettin’ old
what you think you’re worth is only what you need
which is somethin’ you don’t like bein’ told
[chorus]
dream on you strangers, you silly young virgins
i don’t wanna shock you tonight
’cause we’re up to our necks and grabbin’ at any savior
that ends up walking that street

[verse 3]
so they leave you alone like the lepers and lovers
as though you were waitin’ your turn
they they all take a piece by takin’ your peace
and givin’ you advice in return
jazz bands and rosaries are for festivals and funerals
and death just awaits your need
the prison that holds you is like an unopened letter
left around for everyone else to read

[chorus]
dream on you strangers, your life is your own
you’re not guilty ’til the knife’s in your hand
naked wrists don’t leave no reflection
as the razor blades rust in that street
i said, the naked wrists don’t leave no reflection
as the razor blades rust in that street
