Hatred ,I hate the past

Mary: a simple word,

are you there in the  cold country?

Your eyes so full, your head so tight

Can’t you hear me?

Remember our talk that day on the phone?

I was the door, and you were the station

With shattered glass and miles between us

We still flew away in the conversation

The world is dull, but not today

If she can bear to hear it?

Can you dig it?

I see with a glass eye the pavement view

A shadow forming, across the fields rushing

F          D
Thru me to you

D
We tore down the world, and put up four walls

I breathe in the myth

D
I’m over the city, fucking the future

    F                    D
I’m high and inside your kiss

D
We can’t see clear

D           F        D
But what we see is a alright

D
We make up what we can’t hear  

D           F        D
And then we sing all night

D
Scattered pages and shattered lights

       F                   D
See a jackknife and see a dream

D
There’s something moving over there on the right

     F                  D
Like nothing I've never seen
