We're driving past 
Unspoiled road signs 
Gleaming in the moon light 
To trace edge of 
That bitter sweet coastline 
That keeps us captive 
By our pupils 
Again captive 'til we get home 
And baby I know 
That you haven't seen sleep 
Since I've been gone 
But I'll keep my promises to you 
And wake up alone 
'Til we're there 
This isn't at all 
Like wind biting our face 
This isn't at all 
Like winter 
Not at all 
Now the coal burns red 
And warming every inch 
Of our chests again 
Now the coal burns red 
It's our reminder 
That this kiss goes on 
With or without you 
So stop trying to pretend 
What you don't love 
The taste of mercury 
From my lips 
Eating and beating 
It's way through your veins
