Keith and the Cockroaches - Cords

You're a memory in my bedroom
A shadow in my hall
You're the nightmare I don't dream
You're a sucker punch
And a lover's touch
And everything inside of me
I'm a freezing human earthquake
A web of crooked lies
I'm a map of broken dreams
I leave a wake
Of each mistake
I'm echoed inside of your screams
Our hearts exposed
But words couldn't bear the load
So we struck the flame and closed each other's eyes
We took our fill
And played each other's fears
And cut the cords with dynamite
You're a jagged, rusted monster
The hand beneath my bed
You're hiding in the black
There's a moment's peace
You are my one disease
And I'll be happy when you come back
Our hearts exposed
But words couldn't bear the load
So we struck the flame and closed each other's eyes
We took our fill
And played upon our fears
And we cut the cords with dynamite
Let's go
Our hearts exposed
But words couldn't bear the load
So we struck the flame and closed our eyes
We took our fill
And played upon our fears
And cut the cords with dynamite
I'm a shaking, living question
A fist shoved through the glass
I'm a book that no one reads
I hit the lights
And then I say goodnight
And no one hears what I mean
Our hearts exposed
But words couldn't bear the load
So we struck the flame and closed our eyes
We took our fill
And played upon our fears
And cut the cords with dynamite
Get out
