A Serious House on Serious Earth Songtext
von Iron Chic

You had a heart of gold
I know because I fucking sold it
And truth be told
I couldn′t even say what I did with the money
Heads are like that
At least for me when I try to think back

This is where I'd ordinarily
Check the room for spatial distortion
Stare at the moon and cherish the feeling
Eat my words, and choke on the meanings
Stoke the flames, and burn like I mean it

This is where we lost our memories

This is where I long to be

Here I am
The walking sum of your disappointments
I made peace with that
When I let all the feeling out
I can do that much, but I can′t stop the bleeding


Speak in codes
Spin the wheels 'til we bend the spokes
Shake up these tired bones
Make a point, drive it home

You're cool as a heart attack
I can′t move, so I can′t relax
Some things, you can't take back
Not now, not fucking ever

I′ve got a heavy soul
Right now, it's like a fucking boulder
And all I know
There′s not too much more I can shoulder
Fill my lungs
And cough 'til I′m heaving
Spill my guts
And just fucking leave them

Here I am
The walking sum of your disappointments
I made peace with that
When I let all the feeling out
I can do that much, but I can't stop the bleeding


Speak in codes
I'll spin the wheels ′til we bend the spokes
Shake up these tired bones
I′ll make a point, and drive it home

You're cool as a heart attack
I can′t move, so I can't relax
Some things, you can′t take back
Not now, not fucking ever
