The Room - Black Flies

Broken and bleeding my brain

An undercurrent sweeping with disdain

Made me wonder do you think I’m the same?

Every day the dice rolls, love concaves

Cold quakes me to my bones

I’m a legless man, free to walk back home

Have you seen our lungs go up in smoke?

You’re dead behind the eyes

Will you take a moment as we choke

We’re all paralysed to the room

Burning creeps into a breaking dawn

Soon to reap what’s been sown

The coming age will make of us bygones

If the robber takes the moon, he’ll take the sun

Cold quakes me to my bones

I’m the legless man, I’ll never make it home

Have you seen our lungs go up in smoke?

You’re dead behind the eyes

Will you take a moment as we choke

We’re all paralysed to the room
