Mountain Spines

There's a place in our minds
Where the sun ceases to shine
And the mountains of our spines are cast in shadows

There's a fortress in the sea
And a lake that beads with the green
Of a million hundred eyes, I'm not right now
In the end

I'm not allowed to be scared anymore
But I am afraid of your flood

Let me hold back the tears I'm sitting on
I will be plagued with your blood
In the end, in the end
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh

There's a mistress in a bed
With a thousand pounds on her head
On a poster on the wall above the light switch

The sheets are damp and old
And her skin is freckled with mold
But the queue outside the door
Stretches right out
To the sea

I'm not allowed to be scared anymore
I am afraid of your flood

Let me hold back the tears I'm sitting on
I will be plagued with your blood
In the end, in the end
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
