lyrics

Clermont Hotel, creeping eyes
1983, under dirty sheets
I can hear your voice coming through these walls
And it sounds like a siren song

Walk out the door awash in city lights
Don't know where I'm going but I feel alright
In the autumn cold, under falling leaves
Your cool blue eyes coming down the street

Not every dream is born in spring
And not every flower dies in winter

Ghosts in the lounge, exes in your eyes
You know it's hard to see through the gauze of sleep
Withering angel, never caught your name
I can feel your silence pulsing through my veins

Not every dream is born in spring
And not every flower dies in winter

I hear the sound of the spectral fire alarm
Could you please exit my heart
It's getting so crowded in here

Cigarette embers, the only light
Don't care where I'm going, I'm with you tonight
Curling smoke, danger all around
You put my heart six feet in the ground

Not every scheme is hatched in spring
And not every flower dies in winter
