Samara 1921 lyrics

The city's drowning in the vicious, cruel, maddening heat

My melting body's sinking into the streets

I repeat

The same routine to force myself to move my wavering feet

There comes a point when love becomes obsolete

And I believe that that is

Somewhere down the line

My tender heart has turned to lead

And even if I get to meet you one final time

I'd rather it be on your

Deathbed

I'm sorry officer, these days you often run out of chalk

I'll interlock my hand and eagerly walk

I'll make this molten body move

And keep my cravings buried deep and on lock

That's what I want, but an electrical shock

Runs through my body as I fall

I'm sorry little brother

I try so hard, but I just can't remember your name

I wonder at what point one man became another

Well in the end, though, I guess, to your withering brain

It's all the same

The pavement dissolves under the blinding summer sun

The city's slowing vaporizing

These iron bindings come undone

Oh, please remember dear mother

Was it samara 1921?

The memory of when the mountain of the 20th century pinned us down

Let us march to the beat

Drag your feet

The red's calling

Let go of your greed

Plant your seed

The water's flowing, flowing

My stomach turns and

I reach out to hold you one last time

My blood boiling,

This burning air taking shape

Around my throat

It's heavy arms are coiling, coiling

Somewhere down the line

My tender heart has turned to lead

And even if I get to meet you one final time

I'd rather it be on your

Deathbed

Oh, please remember dear mother

Was it samara 1921?

The memory of when the mountain of the 20th century pinned us down
