I saw your father in the hall

His ghost is living in the walls

I heard him crying while you slept

I heard him breaking things after you left

I watched you crawl into my bed

With curses spilling from your head

You said "We're just the walking dead"

So I pulled the trigger and we floated off



Into the air

Into the air

Into the air

Into the air

Up in the air

We're in the air

Up in the air

Up in the air



I used to worry about the time

That I lost my teeth along the line

So I carved the apple from my eye

And gave it to you before I went away



Blood ran into the kitchen sink

Your hand and lives are running pink

I sat and watched you as your rings

Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor



They cut your eyes wide open

And bore into your precious head

My reach don't go that far dear

But please, oh please, don't let them in



I sank into the sea

Wrapped in piano strings

Few words could open me

But you knew them all



Now I just sleep beneath your floor

My ghost just tries to keep you warm

I've seen the end, I've lost the war

And one day you'll join me here just like the rest



I hear the engines

They're roaring in our mouths

Those metal creatures

Are crawling tooth and nail to get out



I see the airplanes

They're pouring from your chest

They fill the air

And burn and bury you just like the rest
