"Abandon The Hospital" lyrics

They told us the dam was gonna break
To pack up all our things and evacuate
As soon as we can
You said that it would all be fine
To stick around and enjoy the ride
Life is short anyway

The moms are all running and holding their kids
Who knew that they'd never see home again
And I didn't want to leave, but I still had answers
To questions I needed to know

Abandon the hospital
Leave the records to drown
I'll get as far as I can from the ocean and then
I'll build up my own sound

Abandon the hospital
It's my choice to make
These sterilised walls make me wanna give up and
The beds are all empty
Anyway

My fridge has been empty for a while
You'd say I have to eat, then you'd smile that smile
The flood came and turned it all to dust
It's hard, it's really fucking hard
But I must, I must, I must, I must

The Sistene Chapel of your collarbone
The David of your eyes
It has all been lost to history
And why am I surprised?

I needed someone to grow old with
'Cause I still felt too young
And at the gallows you said, "Don't leave me here"
I cried, I turned and run

Abandon the hospital
It's time to go
Away from the people who tried to care for me
I'll die in bed alone

Abandon the hospital
It's my choice to make
These sterilised walls make me wanna give up
And the beds are all full
Anyway

Abandon the hospital
It's time to grow old
Away from the people who tried to care for me
I'll die in bed alone

Abandon the hospital
It's my choice to make
These sterilised walls make me wanna give up
And the beds are all full
Of people who need them

More than me
And more than you
And we've still got dreams to live and lose
So come on, let's go
Get out of your bed
For once, I will not accept an end

Abandon the hospital
Abandon the hospital
Abandon the hospital
Abandon the hospital
Abandon the hospital
Abandon the hospital
Abandon the hospital
Abandon the hospital
