lyrics

Dad and kids outside a TV station
Watch their spectres in the air
And I'm unarmed just came to question
Why's my sleeping soul suddenly so aware

The key won't turn

She stands before me a living child
She's an epitaph unto herself

So I pause to blink I pause to block my eyes
And unwind all the dead and gone
But the ghosts of light are creeping through my fingers
So I steal some air and crawl into the dawn

It's the snapshot of a staple gun, the key won't turn
It's the snapshot of a roof collapsing, the key won't turn
Bottled scent of an instruction manual, the key won't turn
Snapshot of a staple gun, the key won't turn

Well if it ain't broke don't fix it, and if it is then don't compare
He sniggers if it ain't broke don't fix it
Pretty fuckin rich walking up the stairs, but don't compare
