ATTACK IN BLACK LYRICS

“Cut And Run” - Attack In Black
album: “Windows EP” (2006)

Shake and stir yourself into a bad excuse
a half-hearted fuck you
imagine all the nowhere places we’d have been
and all the cynicism aside, and let me try to turn these awful words
into a cure, not a curse
and I’m still drawn by the kid in the corner
and the lovely angels alone on benches
I’m still making pleas
to the kid whose clothes don’t fit
who hasn’t found himself just yet
let alone the chance to love
you cross him off your list
this shit is piling up head over fist
while you’re,
while you’re,
while you’re making eyes across the room
while you’re making eyes across the room
while you’re making eyes across the room
while you’re making eyes across the room

x2
they got caught standing bored by the sidewalk
they tried to turn the opera into a punk rock stage
they cut and run at such a tender age

ATTACK IN BLACK LYRICS

“1950″ - Attack In Black
album: “Windows EP” (2006)

Cold, cold 1950
a year from now I’ll be away
a year from now you’ll hear from me
my chin on the water in the darkest time
I’ll cut through country, country bound
with foot in mouth before the town
that looks of shadow and of cloud
and looking back be damned
just underneath the line of visible (and well)
before I’m found and cast to hell
when minutes turn to months and kill
my hopes of coming home
I’ll have a life somewhere, I know
I’ll have a life somewhere, I know

ATTACK IN BLACK LYRICS

“The Love Between You And I” - Attack In Black
album: “Windows EP” (2006)

Maybe, mabe in a lifetime the ones that we will resurrect
my monument immortal but tarnished I suspect
that holdes my generations failures put to song
the jail cell holding all our years undone
the passing of the time we killed when we were young
the archives of our blessed few
and all that they’ve done wrong or havn’t done at all

(chorus)
when the longing in all our lives
fades as light resigns
away beneath the skyline
‘neath the cities
our emptiness reads like a sign
with all the love between you and I

I’ll mind my future as the sunlight tends to life
though my divinity may tightrope the sharpest knife
’cause I’ve got none of what lies above
beyond the stars and sky, beyond the flight of dove

(chorus)

x2
our emptiness read like a sign
with all the love between you and I

ATTACK IN BLACK LYRICS

“Broken Things” - Attack In Black
album: “Windows EP” (2006)

In my wonder I can weigh
the loss that we all had to suffer
felt in headaches from the knowing
that our heroes lives uncovered
to be seen as they’d always been
nothing but a boring shade of blue
from the knowing that I’l never sing in tune
like the rest of you
like the truth that beautiful
could be wealthy spelt another way
said to us in words that linger
words that swear we’ll make it through the day

(chorus)
let die our spoiled architect burrows
let die our finger printed window sorrows
let us address our wakes by name
say, I’d have the strength to face you, day
save the broken things in my life

Ohh ohhhhh o-o-oh

I found the need to stay alive
reason enough to pay to mind
that all of this could mean the world or be
such a fucking waste of time HEY!

(chorus)

Ohh ohh the broken things in my life
Hey! the broken things in my life
THE BROKEN THINGS IN MY LIFE!!!
