Lyrics to “Birthed By Architecture” by Versus the Mirror, one of my favorite bands from Arizona.
A window is still a window even when the glass has been removed
In a fight for power as I watch the world fall apart
I’d offer my hand but then I’d be lowering my defenses
I’m obliged; not obligated, I hope you understand
Hey, I’m still here for this
Dreaming the sound of your steps into the sea
You caused the deadbolt and I know why
Sleep tonight is something I won’t try
Writhing in my clothes
And these phlegmatic words are all I have to show
You put me way up in the clouds
and I never hope that I come down
If we’re going to twitch we’re doing this in style
move to the rhythm
smooth tremble
loose temper
smooth tremble
loose temper
A window is still a window even when the glass has been removed
You put me way up in the clouds
And I never hope that I come down
