about

The final single off of Days Without Incident. Here's what the band has to say: "Interesting melodies, driving rhythms, poetic lyrics, catchy chorus, with a little bit of fun sprinkled throughout. If there was one song that would be the quintessential T-Rex Marathon piece, here it is. Musically, the song is not complex, and yet it does exactly what it needs to do at any given point. It’s a perfect example of restraint and tastefulness and the whole band working in service of a larger musical idea. It’s beautiful, it’s charming, and it’s heavy when it needs to be."

lyrics

I was the rain in your lungs, and it’s mind over matter.
You’re drowning alone.

Run running out of breath for the last words you said
In the last song that you sung.

I was the rain in your veins rushing in like a river,
Breaking your skin.

And now your breathless alone in your bed.
As images flash through your head,
I said!

“I’m giving it up,
I’m giving it in.
If I’m holding your up,
Than say something about it to me.”

You once were a child born of blue
Dressed in roses.

A fantastic display, my princess of grey,
An illusion of substance.

You’ve got your blankets wrapped tight. Sheltered all through the night
From the fiends in the mirror.

Hide away from fear!

I’ll be here waiting (dressed for you)
Shamelessly sedated. (all for you)
You’re your own damn monster. (no excuse)
Night Terror.

So I’d rather feel a burning on my skin,
And an aching in my bones
Than feel hollow and feel sheltered
And feel nothing here at all.
