Blame Songtext
von City Calm Down

Into the night
Through amber lights
We pedaled west before the sun began to rise
Your knuckles shivered
On silver frame
Blood recurred from the surface
White like picket fence
Of a dotted lines
I called your name
You couldn′t hear my voice above the wind

The shadow on your left was a warning
The shoulder of the next car was turning and moving too fast
Into the violence
You entered through the windscreen and showered the driver in glass
Echoes around us
Reflected off towers that hovered over our heads
And there I found you
Lifeless like a ragdoll that fell from the bed


Faultless?
I'll never know
A body breaks
When dropped
Whoever′s blamed
Will surely know
Your body wore
The cost

Through slamming doors
And fluoro lights
You travelled backwards
Passed the sleepless still in line
I should have noticed
Them miss your page
Decisions were made while no one was standing still

A shadow there I stood in the corner
As figures hurried in through the doorway
It happened so fast
Into the silence
You entered with your eyes shut and no one witnessed your last

I could have been there weeks or days
I don't know what I thought would change
I couldn't take myself away
I couldn′t think of who to blame
While I stared blankly at your face
