A Warmer Coast
from Undercurrents by Mariage Blanc
lyrics
other lives are the friendly ghosts
you couldn't cut off
memory sleeps in your former haunts
guilt's at home in a willing host
midwestern souls
chasing the lines of a warmer coast
blue menthol air
cool asphalt harvests the branches bare
white skyline bathing in light despair
steeped in a lavendar glow
a long spell of televised hell is time alone
feeling faint as fluorescent hum
sedate four-lane
cover the hills with collapsing veins
hope spinning frame
that made me want to be a saint
compassion bends where the gospel breaks
steeped in a lavendar glow
a long spell of televised hell is time alone
you couldn't cut off
memory sleeps in your former haunts
guilt's at home in a willing host
midwestern souls
chasing the lines of a warmer coast
blue menthol air
cool asphalt harvests the branches bare
white skyline bathing in light despair
steeped in a lavendar glow
a long spell of televised hell is time alone
feeling faint as fluorescent hum
sedate four-lane
cover the hills with collapsing veins
hope spinning frame
that made me want to be a saint
compassion bends where the gospel breaks
steeped in a lavendar glow
a long spell of televised hell is time alone
