Alkaline Trio – Radio Violence lyrics

[Intro]
I set down the dream with the rain boots
And decided to ride out the storm
Now I can't recall how to welcome the light
And I can't see not window or door

[Verse 1]
It's these four walls of mine
How they change colors
Now they sing to me sometimes
So dark the verse, so comfortable the tune
Seduced to nothing
Just a servitude in size
All singing, bloodshot eyes

[Chorus]
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams that never stood a chance
We've been subtracting in the dark
Now in the dark is where we dance
To radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to

[Verse 2]
If I went dark tonight
Would I change colors?
Go from tip to tails in white
To southern stumbles soaked in rage by midnight
We saw it coming
A misfortune teller knew
Made sure it all came true

[Chorus]
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams that never stood a chance
We've been subtracting in the dark
Now in the dark is where we dance
To radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
But you

[Chorus]
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams all soaked in medicine
We're left alone here in the dark
As in the dark was where we met
Through radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
