Sound Of Screams

If you want the sound of the screams

Start turning in a forest to the draw of the lights

Running to the river at night, head ringing

Watching parents jumping over the sides

If you love the sound of the screams

Bed jumping, him and her are full of passions tonight

Filling up your head with the slides

Blood rushing from your collar

'Til you run out of life

I can see gallows where the old trees were

And the lock where they would drown the bikes

I see the places that we owned because we found them all first

'Fore the generations came behind

Now you're telling me that I can't look back

I've got a life and all the plans are made

Oh well I think I'll take the time before you talk me 'round

To put a man o' war in the way

Sisters!

Looking for the days when the back streets took us

Jumping bridges in a fated car

I'm searching for them in the boredom of a shop-bought buzz

That experimenting tore apart

By the field, on the park, I broke my arm

And when I did it made a precious sound

Like the parting of the lips before the jackals start to howl

Like they're doing right here and right now

If you want the sound of the screams

Start turning in a forest to the draw of the lights

Running to the river at night, head ringing

Watching parents jumping over the sides

If you love the sound of the screams

Past longing, better find a way to slow down the time

Oh sound of screams, still-beating hearts

It's not far enough
