Dark Lines of Spectrum

St. Louis Disaster

Compositor: Rob Ashtoffen

In a heated night a haze appeared to me and said
That you should prepare yourself for the worse
And tried to hear me saying, but there were no words at all

I couldn’t sleep for 9 months I could not feel my right arm
My feet were numb while I sleep
You can't save a thing
You can't rely on somebody else, 'cause everything fades away

I can't feel any pain, and maybe you will not hit me maybe you will
I am waiting in the park
Open arms
And I will call all my friends and belovers to come over to watch you shoot us down
Would you be brave enough to go?

I couldn’t sleep for 9 months
I could not feel my right arm
My feet were numb while I sleep
You can't save a thing
You can't rely on somebody else, 'cause everything fades away

We move from place to place
Year by year
Fading forever
Would you try to shoot us down?
