Bright Eyes - The Awful Sweetness Of Escaping Sweat Lyrics

Send "The Awful Sweetness Of Escaping Sweat" ringtone to your cell

We escape from the house

As the day disappears from the sky

Into night we became what we wanted to be

Like a dream or a ghost

I collapse out of turn

Near a house lying still in the grass

Felt the heat from the ground rising up to contract

And expand like a breath

We leave from that place soaked with sweat

And the poison we drank

Fill the bathtub with ice and hope this fever will break

Like a heart easily

But I do not recall all the words that were formed

On those wire lips as they greeted me

A promise was made without thought

As the temperature climbed

And I started to sink like the moon tends to do

If you stare at it so long

Then you blink and it's gone

And we crawl to our sleep with the dawn

Take it back

And isn't it the same mistake?

And isn't it the same mistake?

And isn't it the same mistake?

There's not much you can escape

And isn't it the same?

We awake in the light

Feeling hollow and selfishly warm

Close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is gone

And it's light is away

Then we're back in the dark

Chasing nothing through backyards and trees

You ripped your shirt on a fence

But it didn't get me

Yeah it's fear makes you slow

And these creatures look crooked

Their shadows cut lines through my face

And the concrete is fire where my bare feet are placed

In a line next to yours

And I guess I'm not sure if it's fear that was born

As those awful eyes laid their claim on us

I put my hands on the fence

Said your name and I started to climb

And it must have been sweat but I drank it like wine

It was sweet my mouth was dry

I heard your scream but I made no reply

I can still taste it now if I try
