Wrapped in piano strings

I saw your father in the hall
His ghost is living in the walls
I heard him crying while you slept
I heard him breaking things after you left
I watched you crawl into my bed
With curses spilling from your head
You said "We´re just the walking dead"
So I pulled the trigger and we floated off
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Up in the air
We´re in the air
Up in the air
Up in the air
I used to worry about the time
That I lost my teeth along the line
So I carved the apple from my eye
And gave it to you before I went away
Blood ran into the kitchen sink
Your hand and lives are running pink
I sat and watched you as your ring
Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor
They cut your eyes wide open
And pour into your precious head
My reach don´t go that far dear
But please oh please don´t let them in
I sank into the sea
Wrapped in piano strings
Few words could open me
But you knew them all
Now I just sleep beneath your floor
My ghost just tries to keep you warm
I´ve seen the end, I´ve lost the war
One day you´re 20 years just like the rain
I hear the engines
They´re roaring in our mouths
The smell of creatures
Are falling tooth and nail to get out
I see the airplanes
They´re pouring from the chest
They fill the air
And burn and bury just like the rest
His ghost is living in the walls
I heard him crying while you slept
I heard him breaking things after you left
I watched you crawl into my bed
With curses spilling from your head
You said "We´re just the walking dead"
So I pulled the trigger and we floated off
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Up in the air
We´re in the air
Up in the air
Up in the air
I used to worry about the time
That I lost my teeth along the line
So I carved the apple from my eye
And gave it to you before I went away
Blood ran into the kitchen sink
Your hand and lives are running pink
I sat and watched you as your ring
Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor
They cut your eyes wide open
And pour into your precious head
My reach don´t go that far dear
But please oh please don´t let them in
I sank into the sea
Wrapped in piano strings
Few words could open me
But you knew them all
Now I just sleep beneath your floor
My ghost just tries to keep you warm
I´ve seen the end, I´ve lost the war
One day you´re 20 years just like the rain
I hear the engines
They´re roaring in our mouths
The smell of creatures
Are falling tooth and nail to get out
I see the airplanes
They´re pouring from the chest
They fill the air
And burn and bury just like the rest
