Apparitions Songtext
von Please Standby...

I heard the door shut and lock behind me
I clenched a fist
To shatter it against a wall

No sign of the rescue team
Just a man with a sign
That says "I just wanna talk"

I said brother let me hit that
I don′t want the taste
Of bad decisions
In my mouth

I came to, to his shined black shoes
And his pressed black suit
By a streetlamp flickering out


And he laughed about the fires
That will burn us to the ground
And he looked over the valley
Where the wreckage is sure to be found
As he waited out the sun
To slowly cave in on itself
I felt my eyes pull to the sky
To behold what should befall

But understand
If it gets through to you
I'll hold your house up around you
And burn up with the elements
I know
Nothing ever gets through to you
But you′ll never make it out
So long as you never move

We raced each other
Back to your house
Hid in the shelter
And rode out the attack

You kept your eyes closed
Hiding in your headphones
Like you really didn't know
That God wasn't coming back


The straight and narrow
Only goes so far
Never leads to anywhere
You haven′t been

You and me
Will walk out of here free
And once more with the wind

And we laughed about the fires
That will burn us to the ground
And we looked over the valley
Where the wreckage is sure to be found
But as we waited out the sun
To slowly cave in on itself
I felt your eyes pull to the sky
To behold what should befall

But understand
If it gets through to you
I′ll hold your house up around you
And burn up with the elements
I know
Nothing ever gets through to you
But you'll never make it out
So long as you never move

And we will laugh about the fires
That will burn us to the ground
And we′ll look over the valley
Where the wreckage is sure to be found
But as we're waiting out the sun
To slowly cave in on itself
We′ll feel our eyes pull to the sky
To behold what should befall

But understand
If it gets through to you
I'll hold your house up around you
And burn up with the elements
I know
Nothing ever gets through to you
But you′ll never make it out
So long as you never move
