The Monologue Bombs - Disappearing Sparks Lyrics

Street lights winking like a well-trained enemy
Wired to the gills and humming your elegy
Ancient kisses, so fine and fleeting
It's a long procession of hearts retreating
So get down, just stay down, old man
You feel the ocean of time between 17 and here
And all your roundhouse swings ain't connected in years
Well, slalom my hearse up Faithless and First
Fake the new pages if you can't rehearse
Disappearing sparks can come back again
You can carry dead moments like a fake gold standard
Show off your shrapnel and punch through the plaster
These bars breed ballads, you can go forever
But the bile and the tears are gonna break like weather
So get up, come on, stay up, old man
When all your vows ring hollow and you're howling for home
You wanna dive for the bedrock and bury your bones
Well, rattle my chains up Faithless and Main
Fake a salvation in the spitting-down rain
