Slowburn lyrics

We're character actors from the Tower of Babel

Bewildered, burned out hardly able

To sit astride the high wire cable

It's hard to balance, a little unstable.

Through broken eyes and contact lenses

I Watched you draw your future tenses

See kisses of flame blow out of your lips

You're back telling me your Apocalypse.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When the slowburn sunset come along

You've gotta stay the night

I gotta think that you might.

We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills

We've tried making movies from a volume of stills

Words fell like hailstones,

Bouncing at our feet,

Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.

A chance to move, I take a shot

I get cold - you get hot

We look outside, lyin' awake

See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.

But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon

Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When the slow burn sunset come along

You've got to stay the night

I've got to think that you might.

Don't try to make it easy, it'll cut you down to size

Darlin' we've got to trust in something

We're shooting down our skies

Shooting down, shooting down our skies

Shooting down our
