I Buried My Heart In Cosmo Park
Adair Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just go.
Go and don't ever look back.
Out of sight,out of mind,out of heart.
And you won't have to witness the damage that follows.
I'm a wide eyed animal.
Lost and scared on the freeway.
Having traveled this far to die alone.
To die alone.

Broken lines and soft goodbyes
The worst is yet to follow.I can see it in your eyes.
It's cold outside,you wonder why...

In the dark,
We stand at the edge of this three year hole.
Push me in and I'll pray for the bottom.
In this cheap hotel room an empire crumbles.
Rest your head,
The fall begins tomrrow.
I wish I could hold you but I...

Can't.

This is not right.This is not right.
This is not right.This is not right.
Lock me up in Guantanamo Bay and throw away the key.
Encased in soundproof glass,I will scream until my lungs turn
Inside out.Inside out.

I can feel the walls closing in.I'm alone in a crowded room.
This is innocence:a dying bloody mess.
This is children playing while monsters wait in the closet,
With baited teeth,ready to strike.
Slit my throat from the inside.
I'll choke on my own blood.





Rest your head,it starts tonight.
