Lyrics: Yes
 
I like looking at the sky
As the wind the plays through
The skirts of the trees
The silence knows
How afraid we are of it
 
Cherished memories
Bleed and bloom
Our secrets like seeds
Get swept up and carried through
Our neighbourhood
 
Safe as houses
Tuck me in
Daylight waits for no man
You're still young and breathing's easy
Suck it in
What a wasteless facade
What a pity we've come this far
 
The rain will fall and baptise
Our strongholds, our sheltered lives
Closed blinds, drawn curtains
And vinyl floors can't hide
 
Sane memories
Bleed and bloom
Our secrets like weeds
Creep up to the roof
Of our neighbourhood
 
Safe as houses
Tuck me in
Daylight waits for no man
You're still young and breathing's easy
Suck it in
What a wasteless facade
What a pity we've come this far
 
Our luscious denial
Our devoured minds
Our thoughts remain impotent
Our pillows stay fertile
 
Safe as houses
Tuck me in
Daylight waits for no man
You're still young and breathing's easy
Suck it in
What a wasteless facade
What a pity we've come this far
 
What a pity we've come this far
