Teksty: Bright Eyes. Other. Act Of Contrition.

The air was all dust, and the night so untamed
The ground opened up and swallowed all of the rain
And it swallowed you too, into distance unknown
As they sat down for dinner, they waited for you to get home
Yeah, they set a place for you
So don't believe everything that you read
In that diary of yours

In this nervousness, it isn't all your fault
It's just these shaking hands, won't do what I want them to
And I've tried to guess, what it is you thought
About that act of contrition that rolled off our tongues as you wept

What are you crying for?
Just dust my heart and you will find
There are no fingers printed there
Just the untouched place that lies inside
Of every lonely boy tonight

Now all of this open air has caused me to choke
On your new found hope for me
