Leeds Lyrics - Shaming Of The Sun - Indigo Girls

it's dark at 4 pm in leeds 

the steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds 

the absent sound of another day as it recedes 

into the shadows 

until it's nothing 

fax papers slipped under the hotel room door 

like food for the prisoner or the prospect to the whore 

well fed and halfway drunk i ache myself for more 

until i'm shadows of myself 

until i'm nothing

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

sixteen black churches burning on the tv 

all the way from texas to tennessee 

and a politician locks my eye and says to me 

there is no crisis here 

there's no conspiracy 

i crave inertia every move made so i can stop 

whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top 

on a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop 

down into nothingness 

into withoutyouness 

was it ever so the evil creep like ivy 

a toe hold on the stronger half of nature's dichotomy 

i'm beating back a path through nothing more than pure insistence 

until here becomes 

the distance 

Photos 

hold my head love i'm sick tonight 

find the open hole and press your fingers there with all your might 

before the last ounce of my spirit bleeds 

onto the pristine sheets 

of the hotel bed in leeds
