Empty Corridors
by Modest Mouse
As I fall,
and you turn away.
You walk down corridors miles away from my heart.
and you turn away.
You walk down corridors miles away from my heart.
As I breathe,
as I surrender,
I hear the sound of whispering.
as I surrender,
I hear the sound of whispering.
Replace these veins,
with these stomach aches
and butterflies that long to tear away.
with these stomach aches
and butterflies that long to tear away.
Screaming, I'll tear out, I'll tear out,
I'll tear out your heart.
I'll tear out your heart.
[chorus]
With the lights out,
I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave
my weapons left by the bedside.
[x2]
With the lights out,
I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave
my weapons left by the bedside.
[x2]
As you stand pressed up on the wall,
they march in outfit
with lullabies that long to hurt us all.
they march in outfit
with lullabies that long to hurt us all.
Now that I'm your escape route,
I could be,
I could be so much more.
I could be,
I could be so much more.
[chorus]
With the lights out,
I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave
my weapons left by the bedsie.
[x2]
With the lights out,
I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave
my weapons left by the bedsie.
[x2]
This time I wont bleed,
if your forsaken me...
I'll tear out, I'll tear out,I'll tear out [x2]
if your forsaken me...
I'll tear out, I'll tear out,I'll tear out [x2]
You were there and I was was with you,
longing for you.
You broke the locks, I grabbed on to you.
Lost in these rooms...
What did I see? What did I see?
What did I see? What did I see?
longing for you.
You broke the locks, I grabbed on to you.
Lost in these rooms...
What did I see? What did I see?
What did I see? What did I see?
