Pool Culture - Brighter Lighter Lyrics

Sleepers in the teasing
There's fire in the doorway
A childhood in roses
Or the ribbon at your birthday
Cut your teeth on the ashtray
Cut your hours til you bleed

I get dizzy in the city
The rhythm makes me nervous
I ballerina through traffic
And arabesque into the furnace
Stretch your arm over broadway
And plie into the street

Curtain drawn in season
(Here the believers)
Takes the light out
(Are playing for keepers)
Holds you under water
(Pornographic feeders)
Holds in you in bed now
(And freckled repeaters)
Somebody starts a fire
(Open the mirror)
Somebody's getting water
(Hopelessly weirder)
Somebody kicked the lighter
(Hide in the cedar)
But no one here's a fighter
(And feeding the meter)
Pull out your hair and watch the angels
Falling so slow

The flowers in your room
They've never felt so heavy
Ties you to your bed frame
And kiss you til your empty
Passing wires as wristbands
And cut into your veins

Curtain drawn in season
(Here the believers)
Takes the light out
(Are playing for keepers)
Holds you under water
(Pornographic feeders)
Holds in you in bed now
(And freckled repeaters)
Somebody starts a fire
(Open the mirror)
Somebody's getting water
(Hopelessly weirder)
Somebody kicked the lighter
(Hide in the cedar)
But no one here's a fighter
(And feeding the meter)
Pull out your hair and watch the angels
Falling so slow

Darling i don't feel like myself
Have you ever felt like somebody else?
Have you ever not felt like yourself?
'Cause right now that's how i feel

Called it again. not again

The house filled up with matches
And we forgot it was a house

Here inside the dream
Memory doesn't come easy
Memory's just a memory
Til every bed grows empty
Leave your love in the doorway
Strike a matchstick
Embrace your darling
And let it all turn to ashes

The moonmen back from the moon
The firemen out of the fire
I read your name in the headlines
But couldn't read any farther
I'd have torn it to pieces
If i hadn't been torn to pieces
