amj - This Exit

This exit flashed upon a concrete door
One way out but not behind you
But I peaked through and I saw you dance

Your hips and your back bopped the air
And the street lamps cooled in the heat
From the night that's coming sometime next week

I shut the door to see the room
I made from scratches from nails
Me and my peers held up together

And the wind pounded the edges
And the walls cracked over
And the windows stained with oily fingerprints

So today the future holds my hand
And spirits fly past the land
And it drops me down miles above the clouds

Where I see the beehive bouncing
Busy breaking bones and bills
To hide behind bound to her

I smell their fear, it tastes like candy
Wrapped in polytechnic paper
Coated quietly and carved with a key

But I need to remember
To stay lighter than their paper
Cause I need to stand with and without you
Cause I need to stand with and without you
With and without you
