radio violence

i set down the dream with the rain boots

and decided to ride out the storm

now i can't recall how to welcome the light

and i can't see not window or door

it's these four walls of mine

how they change colors

how they'd sing to me sometimes

so dark the verse

so comfortable the tune

seduced to nothing

just a servitude in size

all-seeing bloodshot eyes

bruise colored our lives

dreams that never stood a chance

we've been subtracting in the dark

now in the dark is where we dance

to radio violence

communicated

filters through

a lost transmission on repeat

no one else is listening to

if i went dark tonight

would i change colors?

go from tip to tails in white

to southern stumbles soaked in rage by midnight

we saw it coming

a misfortune-teller knew

made sure it all came true

bruise colored our lives

dreams that never stood a chance

we've been subtracting in the dark

now in the dark is where we dance

to radio violence

communicated

filters through

a lost transmission on repeat

no one else is listening to

but you

bruise colored our lives

dreams all soaked and innocent

we're left alone here in the dark

as in the dark was where we met

through radio violence

communicated

filters through

a lost transmission on repeat

no one else is listening to
