lyrics

Two cold crossed out lovers
strung themselves to a wire
and swung out over their love
to see where was the fire

there were only flies and cold contraptions
and laced up lines of unanswered questions
and the fight was undone
crumbled and cracked

into fall out, fall off
fall into the unknown

as they reeled themselves in
it was dead between their eyes
as they reeled themselves in
it was frozen to their touch

they were lost, uncrossed and colliding
with their futures which grabbed at them like a punch in the face
or a breath of fresh air
or the breaking of day

into fall out, fall off
fall into the unknown

their hearts were cramped prisoners
with everywhere to go
their hearts were leaden feet
with everywhere to go

it was a loss
it was so cross
