Cursive Dorothy Dreams of Tornadoes lyrics

You said we'd leave next year
Each year for thirteen years
Each year gets harder to hear
It's getting harder now just to stay in love

And now our roots grown deep
Beneath these barren streets
I had the darkest dreams
The city's pipes and wires
Were through our nerves and veins
And those nights after a double shift
I feel it
The dashed plans you never dared to live
They used to light up your eyes
Those bulbs have long burned out

Let our tornado tear through
Let it tear straight through our roof
And let the rain pour in
I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"

We'll leave the house in ruins
If we escape right now
We just might make it out

And this city, this city's killing us
This city, this city's killing us
This city, this city's killing us
It's killing us
It's killing us!

This city, this city's killing us
This city, this city's killing us
This city, this city's killing us
It's killing us
It's killing us
It's killing us!
