One Flew East - Elway
The orderlies shuffle across
Black and white marble
They're bustling reminders that
No one can slow down the days
The white coats and black boards
They conspire behind locked doors
They don't want to tell you how
Long until it eats me away
I wish you would wake me
When I'm violently shaking
Tossing and turning through
Dreams where I die giving up
I wish it had been you that
I'd given my heart to
Instead of just wasting these
Moments by biting my tongue
And I've been having dreams
Of black and white infirmaries
With the palest walls that
Always stand in silence
If I thought that you could hear
I'd whisper in your ear
All the things I couldn't
Come around to writing
I've been constantly stepping
With these unwanted weapons
Like the things that I think and
I feel will destoy everything
So I'll hold a flame to
I'll hold a flame to the
Things I won't tell you
The
Things I won't tell you
And sift through the ashes
For some kind of reason to sing
And I've been having dreams
Of black and white infirmaries
With the palest walls that
Always stand in silence
If I thought that you could hear
I'd whisper in your ear
All the things I couldn't
Come around to writing
And I'll bleed right out of
These wounds that I gave myself
And I'll live out live out
This life with no body's help
And I'll bleed right out of
These wounds that I gave myself
And I'll live out live out
This life with no body's help
