lyrics

THROW OUT YOUR BURDEN

V1
Motion pictures falter still
And still the images reveal that
Frames and fortunes are concealed
Between the millimeters

V2
Motor cars and window sills
Until the passersby have spilled
Their thoughts and dreams like falling ills
Between the millimeters (2x)

CH
So pull back the curtain (yeah)
Throw out your burden (yeah)
Forget what you learned (and)
Slow slow down

V3
Caravans are carving lines
That wind along the curves of spines
Just backwards facing pantomimes
Between the millimeters

V4
Careless hands withholding time
And mine for yours or yours for mine
While staring down they lead the blind
Between the millimeters (2x)

CH
So pull back the curtain (yeah)
Throw out your burden (yeah)
Forget what you learned (and)
Slow slow down

B
Oh whoa

CH
So pull back the curtain (yeah)
Throw out your burden (yeah)
Forget what you learned (and)
Slow slow down
