[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

Two more nights and I'll be in the air
These last nights will be nice
I'll spend them with you
Then I'll fly away and smile to you

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

My front was warm, cold backs of my arms
Never felt the dawn, the night was long

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known deep down would not include you, though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down, being swallowed into a silence that's bottomless and real

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

I looked down and saw you there
Smiling down to me
'Sweetheart,' I yelled out
I woke up early to see you fly away

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

The heat from the closeness of me tilting towards the sun
Was storing up to ignite at night and light

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

I know you've seen the billowy black
You have been blinded by The Gleam
And then sight came back

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

Your body transformed
I couldn't bear to look so I turned my head west, like an early death
Now I can only see you on the fridge in lifeless pictures

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

Moving away, thinking about someone else

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

Oh Anna, drop me off a cliff
I fall

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

I faced death, I went in with my arms swinging
But I heard my own breath
And I had to face that I'm still living

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

I hung around your neck independently
And my loss was overwhelmed
By this new depth I don't think I ever felt

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

'Hey wake up, it's me, that glow
Wake up and listen close
Warm up and come down through the hills
Towards the warm red lamp window

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

You'd feel the yawning gulf grow wider
And you'd feel the dwindling fuel for your lungs
And your breaths would slow

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

Sweet kid, we were watched and followed and I thought of Geneviève

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

Now we both know what we have to do

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

I'm not ready, you surprised me, say you're joking

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

'I took my shirt off in the yard.'
No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden
Now it's not
My shirt's back on
I forgot my songs

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

The blow came down from the hills
Followed by snow
Oh, the snowy blow

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

My head fills with heat
From the knife in your hand to mine

[The Microphones Lyrics @mounteeriebot]

I felt it all, your starry night
Your lack of light
With limp arms I can feel most of you
