False Start Songtext
von Between Bodies

When exactly did the future cease being a companion that you needed?
Did the hours lose their taste with the sores they passed over the dinner table?

Learning the alphabet of a language we couldn′t yet speak
Up in the attic, on an unfamiliar street
Trying to build on the hot ashes of what they burned down for years
My truth is small and dripping from the fire water still

Was it disregard or bravery? I guess that couldn't say
Snow-covered bed-sheets, face and pillow and a little more time to stay
And I′ll be staring at the door hoping that you caught your train
Give me some more time. I'll visit on your birthday
Or I promise that at least I'll try

Trying to build on the hot ashes of what they burned down for years
My truth is small and dripping from the fire water still


Was it disregard or bravery? I guess that couldn′t say
Snow-covered bed-sheets, face and pillow and a little more time to stay
And I′ll be staring at the door hoping that you caught your train
Give me some more time. I'll visit on your birthday
Or I promise that at least I′ll try

Was it failure of friends or just ill-defined destiny
The absence of parental fucking advisory?
Who's at fault, the state or God?
I wear these questions like a second skin
It was kids helping kids instead of mothers and fathers
Eho buried you after they never bothered
They should have been your shore
Not the water in your sinking car

Words are like the weather. Some days they burn like the sun
Some nights they fall like heavy rain. Make ′em come undone

When exactly did the future cease being a companion that you needed?

Was it disregard or bravery? I guess that couldn't say
Snow-covered bed-sheets, face and pillow and a little more time to stay
And I′ll be staring at the door hoping that you caught your train
Give me some more time. I'll visit on your birthday
Or I promise that at least I'll try
