"Crossing Guard" lyrics

"Crossing Guard"

Sightlines passing gates
They're incoming, then fade
I'm pressed against the glass
As close as I can take
(Ah)

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

Yeah, through the rain, steam and speed
Pull the weight from under me, yeah
Huh, through the rain, steam and speed
Pull the weight from under me, yeah

And the shadow I throw
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, 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
Yeah, and let it get away from me now

Uh, like Germanotta, Stefani
Pull the weight from under me, yeah
Uh, like Germanotta, Stefani
Pull the weight from under me

And cross
And hand it over
And cross
Then hand it over
Now cross
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
To this guy
And this guy
Okay, then cross
Oh, it feels like
Oh, it, oh, it feels like
Oh, it, oh, it feels like
Oh, it, oh, it feels like
Oh, it, oh, it feels like
