Layers Lyrics & Tabs by Gavin Castleton
Layers
guitar chords lyrics
You slam the door
now they're coming towards us
I try to point us to the road
but it's just pointless
I push the pedal to the floor,
burning rubber through the cornfield
In the rows are many many more
Makin' zombie yogurt with the windshield
I'm so relieved when we finally make it to the trees
crowned by the sun rising in the east,
but you are just a blank, frozen in your seat,
eyes of a lemur, ghostly as teeth
I try to pull you close, tell you it's alright
You slap my hand away, bracing for a fight
We made it to the car, both without a bite,
I try to pull you close, tell you it's alright
You slap my hand away, bracing for a fight
We made it to the car, both without a bite,
but you will never find the end of last night
We drove beyond the towns we knew
but never saw a soul
I hope you're satisfied-
you brought me back a stuffed penguin
so I guess it's fine that I almost died
You couldn't wait to try to save her
while I played the bait you just snuck outside
They couldn't hear your feet 'cause she was screaming,
she was meet before you stepped inside
her house was beat - we knew that from the street
but you just simply had to try
You lost a friend
but in the end, it was only me that cried
you couldn't hear me
maybe 'cause you were so deaf with pride
You think "concern" is just another word for compromise
Well the barn is dust so we have to drive
Now I can't decide
I'm afraid to be alone and I'm afraid to be with you
It's a sudden truth that I can't deny
We parked nearby a grocery store
as stark as once could be
and dangling from the entrance door
a severed arm inserts the key
Can we stay here for the night?
We'll just tuck the car out of sight
I was wrong to leave you alone -
I thought it was strength but I should've known
