Lyrics Another Mausoleum - 4 Star View

Dry the droplets of the universe streaming down your face
If you're ready, come and get me, swaddled in burlap and lace
And while the town is falling down, I genuflect at your feet
And chase the stars through hallowed halls, then sweetly go to sleep

The way you talk keeps your tongue from healing
Your barbed wire ears to guard against hurt feelings
Your family don't call and you barely see them
Every night we're sealing up another mausoleum

The boulevard of burned out stars, spotlight a dear out on the lane
Another lover runs for cover, barefoot in the rain
Shouting from a mountain with echoes chasing home
Throw your feelings at the ceiling, fall back like a stone

The way you talk keeps your tongue from healing
Your barbed wire ears to guard against hurt feelings
Your family don't call and you barely see them
Every night we're sealing up another mausoleum

And so, I really want you to know
If you're ready, come and get me
And so, I really want you to know
I'm waiting where you left me, right here beside the levee
If you're ready, come and get me
We'll keep each other steady

A trillion treasons give no reason, leave the cards where they lay
We deliver all the slivers, put them back into place
If you're drowning in a fountain with expectations unmet
Then we'll throw a bean into the sea and wash away our regrets
Just let our feet get wet under an East coast sunset

The way you talk keeps your tongue from healing
Your barbed wire ears to guard against hurt feelings
Your family don't call and you barely see them
Every night we're sealing up another mausoleum
