lyrics

Booby Trap

I hear about winds choking
I hear about trees curling up
I hear about stars falling
Down, down, down, falling
I hear about skies flaking
Flowers bending away from the sun
I hear about time going
Round, round, round
You say the ghosts are only ghosts
You say love is real…

I hear about angels covering
Their eyes to the carnage and the stench
Waiting for a rain that never comes
Comes, comes, comes, never
I hear about towers burning
I’d rather you die than I live, and learning
Eye for an eye for an eye
It never stops, stops, stops, never

I hear the silence rumble
Hear the clock hands grumble
Hear the clouds tumble

Don’t tell me love is safe
When the rain won’t let up in my head
Don’t tell me love is real
Cause I can’t hold you in my dreams
Don’t say it’ll set me free
Cause I can feel your heart
Strapped under my wings
Like a booby trap
Ticking down

I hear about storms
I hear about storms
So don’t tell me love is safe
Don’t tell me love is safe
No, no
