Bells
from Portraits by Timothy Armstrong
lyrics
Bells
What landscapes lie beyond your fortress
We could only speculate, but could not have known
The ambulant gradients of your night dress
Meandering in folds like a sine tone
You Let your hair fall out your window
We flicker on and off like fluorescents
We turn all the dials and fix them with tape
The looking glass tells it best
Bells billow the chimes and the well swallows the dimes its given
But I’ll never let go of this moment, it’s the home I live in
Ruins are all that remain of your palace
Everything you owned has been overthrown
Coz I saw you splitting hairs in the courtyard
With the jester swaying in corner, his face in his palms
I wouldn’t call you scared at all
What landscapes lie beyond your fortress
We could only speculate, but could not have known
The ambulant gradients of your night dress
Meandering in folds like a sine tone
You Let your hair fall out your window
We flicker on and off like fluorescents
We turn all the dials and fix them with tape
The looking glass tells it best
Bells billow the chimes and the well swallows the dimes its given
But I’ll never let go of this moment, it’s the home I live in
Ruins are all that remain of your palace
Everything you owned has been overthrown
Coz I saw you splitting hairs in the courtyard
With the jester swaying in corner, his face in his palms
I wouldn’t call you scared at all
