Shutters

from Asleep In The Deep End by Andross

/

lyrics

Turn out the lights before you go
I’m boarding all the windows up
In this long abandoned home
(Nobody lives here anymore)
I’m shutting off the water and the heat
Removing all the pictures from their frames
and closing all the shutters now

Just then you reached inside
my mind and took me by surprise
your last goodbye grew wings
when you were just holding on too
when you were just holding on

brother,
are you still drowning in crimson and blue?
I should have been there
If I had known what to do
I was distant and complacent
I was running from the fact that
you were lonely and considered me a friend

you left a portrait vague and tied
to the wrist of your silhouette
it walks miles down the hall
your warm weather breaks the tension up
when you colonize my broken bones
when I won’t acknowledge all
the numbers on the doors

and I won’t ask you to lift or carry my coffin
not for this colossal wreck
and what have these dreams wrought
if they don’t serve to bring you back

Don’t inter my tomb in this emergency room
where you took your time
You were canvas in a frame
and I was painting you back in
to where you used to be
(I could have met you)
by that creek bed
In the water
where you swore you saw yourself

Dear brother,
are you still drowning in crimson and blue?
I should have been there
If I had known what to do
I was distant and complacent
I was wishing this would all just go away
I was running from the fact that
you were lonely and considered me a friend
