Safe As Houses Tab

I like looking at the sky as the wind plays through
                                           
The skirts of the trees the silence knows how afraid we are of it
                                             
Cherished memories bleed and bloom our secrets like seeds
                                       
get swept up and carried through our neighborhood

               
Safe as houses tuck me in
                                
Daylight waits for no man you’re still young
                             
and breathing’s easy suck it in
                    
what a waste this facade
                          
What a pity we’ve come this far


 


                                            
The rain will fall and baptize our strongholds our sheltered lives
                                    
Closed blinds drawn curtains and vinyl floors can’t hide
                                           
Stained memories bleed and bloom our secrets like weeds
                               
Creeps up to the roof of our neighborhood


              
Safe as houses tuck me in
                                
Daylight waits for no man you’re still young
                             
and breathing’s easy suck it in
                    
What a waste this facade
                                               
          
What a pity we’ve come this far how luscious denial our devoured minds
                                             
Our thoughts remain impotent our pillows stay fertile

              
Safe as houses tuck me in
                                
Daylight waits for no man you’re still young
                            
and breathings easy suck it in

                   
What a waste this facade
                          
What a pity we’ve come this far
