cotillions

Halfway to Texas, by suicide
I left my body on a road

And no, no, nobody ever sold us
On any reason left to lie
For any morning that I could leave
Leave behind

Two steps to twilight, searchlight to searchlight
Two steps to twilight, we'll drive it all night, all night long

You are a cipher, a fallacy
On which I torched an august field
So take bitter season, Devil's roots
If you bring forth what's left of us
To soldier onward for crimson tide
A tender trust

Two steps to twilight, searchlight to searchlight
Two steps to twilight, we'll drive it all night, all night long
We'll drive it all night long

Halfway to Texas, by suicide
I left my sisters by the road

And no, no, nobody ever sold me
On any reason that leads to youth
Or any mourning I bled dry
A bludgeoned proof

Two steps to twilight, searchlight to searchlight
Two steps to twilight, we'll drive it all night, all night long
Two steps to twilight, searchlight to searchlight
(all night long) we'll drive it all night long
