They've been dark for days
We board up the house
Hide upstairs and wait and wait
Just outside
We hear awful sounds
Cower in bed
And think of ourselves only
The last lights are all fire
We let the heat thrive
Panicked a week
Starved just as long
We're two signs of life
Our doors are marked
Desperate chants of
"Help will come
Help will come
Can't try to leave
Help will come, finally"
The last lights are all fire
Let the heat thrive
Turn the seas sour
Bleed the ground dry
I won't wait
You'll give up with me
No one comes
And we rot in bed
No one comes
And the boards stay up
The streets have gone dark They've been dark for days We board up the house Hide upstairs and wait and wait Just outside We hear awful sounds Cower in bed And think of ourselves only The last lights are all fire We let the heat thrive Panicked a week Starved just as long We're two signs of life Our doors are marked Desperate chants of "Help will come Help will come Can't try to leave Help will come, finally" The last lights are all fire Let the heat thrive Turn the seas sour Bleed the ground dry I won't wait You'll give up with me No one comes And we rot in bed No one comes And the boards stay up Explain Request ×
