Abandon The Hospital

They told us the dam was gonna break

To pack up all our things and evacuate

As soon as we can

You said that it would all be fine

To stick around and enjoy the ride

Life is short anyway

♪

The moms are all running and holding their kids

Who knew that they'd never see home again

And I didn't want to leave, but I still had answers

To questions, I needed to know

Abandon the hospital

Leave the records to drown

I'll get as far as I can from the ocean and then

I'll build up my own sound

Abandon the hospital

It's my choice to make

These sterilised walls make me wanna give up and

The beds are all empty

Anyway

♪

My fridge has been empty for a while

You'd say I have to eat, then you'd smile that smile

The flood came and turned it all to dust

It's hard, it's really fucking hard

But I must, I must, I must, I must

The Sistene Chapel of your collarbone

The David of your eyes

It has all been lost to history

And why am I surprised?

I needed someone to grow old with

'Cause I still felt too young

And at the gallows you said, "Don't leave me here"

I cried, I turned and run

Abandon the hospital

It's time to go

Away from the people who tried to care for me

I'll die in bed alone

Abandon the hospital

It's my choice to make

These sterilised walls make me wanna give up

And the beds are all full

Anyway

♪

Abandon the hospital

It's time to grow old

Away from the people who tried to care for me

I'll die in bed alone

Abandon the hospital

It's my choice to make

These sterilised walls make me wanna give up

And the beds are all full

Of people who need them

More than me and more than you

And we've still got dreams to live and lose

So come on, let's go

Get out of your bed

For once, I will not accept an end

Abandon the hospital

Abandon the hospital

Abandon the hospital

Abandon the hospital

Abandon the hospital

Abandon the hospital
