Wake - The Antlers

[00:00.000]
[00:38.220]With the door closed, shades drawn, the world shrinks
[00:42.540]Let’s open up those blinds
[00:47.440]But someone has to sweep the floor, pick up her dirty clothes
[00:49.440]
[00:52.030]That job’s not mine
[00:56.360]Now that everyone’s an enemy, my heart sinks
[01:00.620]Let’s put away those claws
[01:05.320]I don’t blame them for their curtain-calls, because I pulled the rope
[01:07.440]
[01:09.960]I wanna call them back out for applause
[01:14.660]Spring and Thompson on the first of May is horrible
[01:18.960]We hid in catacombs
[01:23.590]So now I’m sleeping next to mousetraps in a bed of all our clothes
[01:27.440]
[01:28.280]While I hope that she won’t come home
[01:32.680]It was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones
[01:37.530]Than to show my skin
[01:41.710]Because the hardest thing is never to repent for someone else
[01:44.440]
[01:46.450]It’s letting people in
[02:09.790]
[02:27.620]Well you can come inside, unlock the door, take off your shoes
[02:30.440]
[02:32.290]But this might take all night
[02:36.640]To explain to you I would have walked out those sliding doors
[02:38.440]
[02:41.450]But the timing never seemed right
[02:45.850]When your helicopter came and tried to lift me out
[02:50.350]I put its rope around my neck
[02:54.930]And after that you didn’t bother with the airlift or the rescue
[02:59.980]- You knew just what to expect
[03:03.990]That with the door closed, shades drawn, we’re dead enough
[03:05.440]
[03:08.540]They don’t open from outside
[03:13.730]And someone has to speak with their teeth behind their tongue
[03:15.440]
[03:17.840]To never let that right be denied
[03:22.500]We can’t rely on photographs and visitation time
[03:26.940]But I just don’t know where to begin
[03:31.510]I wanna bust down the door, if you’re willing to forgive
[03:36.170]I’ve got the keys, I’m letting people in
[03:46.060]
[04:54.600]Don’t be scared to speak
[04:58.520]Don’t speak with someone’s tooth
[05:02.960]Don’t bargain when you’re weak
[05:07.460]Don’t take that sharp abuse
[05:12.070]Some patients can’t be saved
[05:16.640]But that burden’s not on you
[05:28.250]Don’t ever let anyone
[05:33.460]Tell you you deserve that
[05:37.410]Don’t ever let anyone
[05:42.740]Tell you you deserve that
[05:46.690]Don’t ever let anyone
[05:51.720]Tell you you deserve that
[05:55.600]Don’t ever let anyone
[06:00.690]Tell you you deserve that
[06:04.830]Don’t ever let anyone
[06:09.870]Tell you you deserve that
[06:13.980]Don’t ever let anyone
[06:19.080]Tell you you deserve that
[06:22.970]Don’t ever let anyone
[06:28.170]Tell you you deserve that
[06:32.140]Don’t ever let anyone
[06:37.280]Tell you you deserve that
[06:41.370]
