Anathallo - All The First Pages Lyrics

An astronaut lost his ring finger
To the back of a grain truck
And I can't stop thinking about it
I'm thinking about it, thinking about it
I'm thinking about it, isn't everything strange?

Buildings as brick boxes to be opened
Turned sideways and cracked
You said the one that is inside
Is much too fluid, too fast

You and I that spiral past the windowsill
The fire escape is on its back
Watching us swallowed up in the blue and green
On its back, watching us swallowed up in the blue and green

Flaring in the air with the vapor trails from all the first pages
The same two color contrails that twist
Around every other color left crowded out
A record played, the lights go out
The Cineplex screen presents new strangled spectrum's

Color left crowded out
A record played, the lights go out
The Cineplex screen presents new strangled spectrum's

What we mean swallowed up, swallowed up
Swallowed up in the blue and green
What we mean swallowed up, swallowed up
Swallowed up in the blue and green

Nineteen seventy nine in a field with a bloody thumb
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)
Alone with the whir of the grain wheel hum
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)

Ten years since he saw us all
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)
Ten years since he saw us all
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)

He came back to never look another
In the eye the same way again
He walked inside, put his finger in the ice
And didn't flinch at all
He came back to never look another
In the eye the same way again

He walked inside, put his finger in the ice
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)
He walked inside, and didn't flinch at all
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)

He walked inside, put his finger in the ice
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)
He walked inside, and didn't flinch at all
(Swallowed up, swallowed up, swallowed up in the blue and green)

Flaring in the air with the vapor trails from all the first pages
The same two color that contrails, that twist
Around every other color left crowded out
A record played, the lights go out
The Cineplex screen presents new strangled spectrum's

Color left crowded out
A record played, the lights go out
The Cineplex screen presents new strangled spectrum's
