The Hits The Scrapes

Brigade

Ten more minutes then we should go 
We won't be afraid anymore 
Hands to the fire I held your face to the smoke 
So sorry I lied to you 
Those quiet eyes behind the candle's arc 
Too dark to find our way 
Tied to a fortune that would tear us apart 
No-one will miss a thing 

We swam to the shore to get out of our heads 
Our hearts blind to the downpour 
We lay close and kept warm while we smiled in our beds 
Our scars drowned in the cold waves 

Laughing at strangers we'd joke and we'd cry 
Scared of what dawn might bring 
We thought together we would get out alive 
Somehow we're safe and sound 
We'd take it in turns to watch over the town 
Our clothes still soaked through with sweat 
Ashamed of the embers that we scattered and burned 
Forever remembered 

We swam to the shore to get out of our heads 
Our hearts blind to the downpour 
We lay close and kept warm while we smiled in our beds 
Our scars drowned in the cold waves 

The tickets on yourself will weigh you through the ground
