Paint Out the Light

guitar chords lyrics

Jawbox

you paint walls and
buildings so tall -
sunlight never reaches the earth.

a birth, as the paint covers cracks
and stains, and nothing remains.
but a new face so pale and white -
sunlight makes it shrink,
and think that maybe the womb
sings a better tune,
the mind-bending heat of blistering streets
and air so polluted,
that every breath is a curse.
you paint walls and buildings so tall
that sunlight never reaches earth.
but the sound of crying still

you paint walls and buildings so tall
that sunlight never reaches earth.
but the sound of crying still
will reach your ears.
