Greatest lyric of all time?


now I sit on the rooftop's edge
the muddy street beneath my swollen head
trying to forget you, to believe we'd never met
and the sky is wrecked; full of rotting clouds
from chimney mouths spewing smoke around
and I can't stop coughing
my lungs just won't calm down
but I still keep grinning
as the blood from my face stains the ground



Let's carve my aging face off,
Fetch us a knife,
Start with my eyes,
Down so the lines,
Form a grimacing smile


We peek from the edge of an old rusty bridge.
Down in the water is the house where we were raised.
And over where the trees and gardens used to be.
Are remnants of pictures we still carry in our minds.




I hear the engines
they're roaring in our mouths
those metal creatures
are crawling tooth and nail to get out
I see the airplanes
they're pouring from your chest
they fill the air
and burn and bury you just like the rest

Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun, and the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was never much, but we've made the most
Welcome home

The fourth one is "Wrapped in Piano Strings" by Radical Face (My favorite song). And that last one is "Welcome Home" by Radical Face.
