Crossing Guard

Crossing Guard

Sightlines passing Gates
They're incoming then fade
I'm pressed against the glass
As close as I can take

And the colors are smeared
Turning breath into frost
As the ground falls in
To a pillar of smoke

At the crossing guard's relay
There's no hands left to take
So grab me by the teeth
And whisper it to me, yeah, keep saying

You don't you don't you don't you don't
Have to submit submit submit submit yourself to it
Linen, wire, cloth, steel
Release it all
And go back to running from it

Through the rain, steam, and speed
Pull the weight from under me
Through the rain, steam, and speed
Pull the weight from under me

Strobing against the wall
Boy, what's wrong with you?
Go ahead and grind me into a pearl!

At the crossing guard's relay
There's no hands left to take
So grab me by the teeth
And whisper it to me, keep saying

You don't you don't you don't you don't
Have to submit submit submit submit yourself to it
Linen, wire, cloth, steel
Release it all, yeah
And let it get away from me now

Like Germanotta, Stefani
Pull the weight from under me
Like Germanotta, Stefani
Pull the weight from under me, and

Cross
Then hand it over
And cross
Then hand it over
Now cross
Now cross
Cross
Cross

From passenger, to passenger, to passenger
To passenger, to passenger, to passenger
To passenger, to passenger
To this guy
To this guy, and this guy, and this guy
And this guy

Okay, then cross

It feels like oh it feels like oh it feels like
