Running To Persia

Running To Persia - Gin lyrics

rate me

3 AM silence is burning

Each breath like a wasp in the nest

That stings in the walls of my ribcage

A weight pulling down on my chest.

And the wolves at my door have gone wild

Their voices scream lonely and thin

But they sound like a choir of angels

When I'm hollow enough to give in.

There's a girl I drank heavy to cure me.

Bared her heart for me once and again

But she don't keep me warm in the winter

Guess I mistook her for gin.

There's a voice I can't place but it soothes me

Coming over the car radio

Like the way she first told me she loved me

Her eyes coming up from the floor.

And at night I sleep like a traitor

My heart rests a thorn in my side

And I bite on the words I remember

Of a pretty young poet who died.

That a door open wide is an ocean

I'm gone on my way to get lost

And I can't tell a window from eyes anymore

I can't tell the tears from the frost.

And I'm dizzy and drowning and down on my luck

I'm in love with the lights in a blur.

She steals me a glance and I buy her a drink

And we sit with our backs to the curb

And the door open wide is an ocean

And she tells me to jump and I swim

Broke through the window, her eyes to the floor.

Guess I mistook her for gin.
