35 Lyrics - Rooms Of The House - La Dispute

Drivers out on the bridge 

Slowing down as they go through a lane shift 

Wires snap 

Concrete gives 

Metal twisting and 

Everything tumbling 

 

At the end of the work day 

Stuck in traffic, don't feel when the road sways 

Underneath 

Concrete gives 

Metal twisting and 

Everything tumbling

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

 

To their partners and kids 

Don't suspect anything till the bridge splits 

Wires snap 

Concrete gives 

Metal twisting and 

Everything tumbling 

Down 

 

Where I sat I saw brake lights flash 

And I pictured them: all the people, their faces in free fall, the water beneath 

I pushed my palms against the table hard to see if it hurt 

Were it glass would I have shattered it? 

Could I battle every impulse to panic and then win 

Swim out through the metal twisting upward like a sculpture 

Or some terrible beast? 

 

Photos 

 

People trapped in their cars 

Put both feet on the glass and then kick hard 

Water pours in 

Seatbelts twist 

River flowing and 

Everything going down 

 

People under the water line 

Workers sift through the wreckage of it, find 

Seatbelts stuck 

Water fills up 

River flowing and 

Everything going downstream 

 

On the dining room wall, I watched it 

Play in the reflection of the television 

The reversal in the mirror hung, I could see it all 

How the dust clouds gather color as they billow out 

Shades change shifting in the night 

From the lights atop an ambulance 

Like a firework's flash then that otherworldly glow 

In the smoke thrown in the aftermath blows 

Almost frozen for a moment there 

I could see it all 

 

Every dust cloud 

Shattered glass 

Billow out on the TV 

Wires snap 

And the concrete gives 

Metal twists up and onward 

 

I can see it all 

Every dust cloud 

Shattered glass 

Billow out on the TV 

Wires snap 

And the concrete gives in 

Metal twists up and onward I watch 

And I can see it all 

 

All the wreckage 

All the cars piled 

In the river and the rail yard 

The metal twists 

Wires snap 

Concrete blocks split 

And dangle from tie rods 

And metal twists up 

 

Wires sway 

When a breeze blows 

In the distant 

Sirens glow 

 

I can see it all 

Where they look for survivors 

Searchlights float 

Change the color of smoke clouds 

And shadows still fall 

People under the water 

 

People trapped in their cars 

Kick and try to get out 

People still with their seat belts on 

Pets they had in the back 

And car seats 

 

And I watch it on TV lying down here 

On the floor in the dining room, reversed in the mirror 

Where I know I'm not dreaming now 

But I know I've been sleeping 

I just don't know since when 

I only know that it's light outside 

I only know that the rent is still late 

When did they find out the concrete gave? 

When did they learn that the wires snapped?
