  • When you're calling ain't calling back to you
    I'll be side stage, mouthing lines for you
    Humiliated by age, terrified of youth
    I got hope but my hope isn't helping you

    Spitting out guts from their gears
    Draining our spleen over years
    Found my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there

    Wake up puddle eyed, sleeping in the suit
    The truth is ugly, well I feel ugly too
    We'll be heroes on every bar stool
    Seeing double beats not seeing one of you

    Spitting out guts from their gears
    Draining our spleen over years
    Found myself with crossed fingers in the rubble there
    Well you stole the heart right out my chest
    Changed the words that I know best
    Found my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there

    Spitting out guts from their gears
    Draining our spleen over years
    Found my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there
    Well you stole the heart right out my chest
    Changed the words that I know best
    Found my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there Writer/s: ANNE ERIN CLARK
