Codeine

(álbum: Either Light - 2020)

Can you let me in? They said, "I can't, I can't"
Walk around 'til morning time looking for a hand
Every single one outstretched reaching for the light
Coming off the engine and they burn up inside
The car is nice, the leather's fine, they're headed for the hill
Happy to be burning than the one crushed in the grill

But I'm just hitching a ride
I'm just hitching a ride
Yeah, I'm just hitching a ride
I'm just hitching a ride

Codeine
A moment in silence
Sing
Trading time for kindness
Fade to black and close the act
'Cause Tony is not coming back

Angel rust, digital dust is hanging in the air
Shed the light, it bursts, it shines and flirts with its despair
Shakily, a melody comes across the sky
Hits the lips of every kid and they begin to cry

But I'm just singing along
I'm just singing along
Yeah, I'm just singing along
I'm just singing along

Ooh, Codeine
A moment's silence
Sing
Trading time for kindness
Sing
No story about the blindness
Sing, ayy, ayy, ayy
Trading time for lightness
Fade to black and close the act
'Cause Tony is not coming back (Ayy)

Every past stretched out in strands, the thread to lace the coat
Wishes are made to die and future pokes the hole
