Shaking Wall Songtext
von Flashlight Faces

I think I found us on the map
Fire′s growing, ocean's black
Rocky coastline, pointing hand
Fingers made of icy sand

An angry planet sky
I hung the gloves to dry
Light candles, power′s out
It's crawling on the house

But I'll hold up the shaking wall
I′ll make sure it doesn′t fall
We'll cover cracks up while they′re still small
I'll hold up the shaking wall

I heard they hauled up, talking crabs
Singing songs from in the traps
Songs of warning of what would rise
What would go down in the tides


Just got a hammer, nails
A single water pail
Some old binoculars
The maps I got from cars

But I′ll hold up the shaking wall
I'll make sure it doesn′t fall
We'll cover cracks up while they're still small
I′ll hold up the shaking wall

No more words
For what still works
For what still warms
When darkness lurks
The lanterns glow
I dropped the phone
I think we′re finally alone

The point the farthest north
The attic of the earth
The lanterns turned up bright
Just can't complain tonight

But I′ll hold up the shaking wall
I'll make sure it doesn′t fall
We'll cover cracks up while they′re still small
I'll hold up the shaking wall
