The Awful Sweetness of Escaping Sweat
Dm
we escape from the house
Am
as the day dissapears from the sky
Into night
C
we bacame what we wanted to be
G Am
like a dream or a ghost
Dm
i collapse out of turn
near a house
Am
lying still in the grass and felt the heat from the ground
C G Am
rising up to contract and expand like a breath
Dm
we escape from that place
Am
soaked with sweat and the poison we drank
C
fill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will break
G
like a heart
Am
easily
Dm G
but i do not recall all the words that were formed
Am
on those wire lips as they greeted me
Dm G Am
a promise was made witout thought as the temperature climbed
Dm G
and i started to sink like the moon
Am E C Em G
tends to do if you stare at it too long
E Am
then you blink and it's gone
C G Am
and we crawl to our sleep with the dawn
Dm Am repeated with "isn't it the same mistake"
Dm Am
i awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warm
C
close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is gone
G Am
and it's light is away
Dm
the we are back in the dark
Am
chasing nothing through backyards and trees
C
you ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get me
G
yeah it's fear
Am
it makes you so low
Dm
and these creatures look crooked
Am
their shadows cut lines through my face and the concrete is fire
C
where my bare feet are placed
G Am
in a line next to yours
Dm G
and i guess i'm not sure if it was fear that was born
Am
as those awful eyes made their claim on us
Dm
i put my hands on the fence
G
said your name
Am
and i started to climb
Dm G
and it must have been sweat but i drank it like wine
Am E C Em G
it was sweet, my mouth was dry
E Am
i heard you scream but i made no reply
C G Am
i can still taste it now if i try
I'm hoping that's right. Enjoi www.inastorytold.com
