lyrics

A cradle, a casket tied to nothingness
She said she was a little piece of gold
An outlaw of lost love and a reader of lonely men
She never slept
She was pushing down the doors
The bus was a bird's nest
The streets were another mess
You didn't know what you would sell me for
The people in prisons get dreams so innocent
You fell in love, you were pushing down the doors

The second chance of a second year
Is cartilage inside your ear
You didn't know that I was just a ghost
The nightlife was bent up and clicking with castanets
I lost the bet, I was pushing down the doors
Your father, the writer would stare me down with his stare
And tell me what I would sell you for
I'd be the changed man, but he'd die the next morning
He'd fall in love, he'd be pushing down the doors

I bit my tongue and bid my time
I waited in the waiting line to tell you that I loved you the most
But I was a dead man
Another show, another fan
The minute hand was pushing down the doors
You wanted to love me, to push me to certainty
I stood there like the witness of a ghost
You wanted to tell me that I was the crazy one
Without a gun, I was pushing down the doors
