Airtight

by The Farstar

on The Paper Sound (2005), God Be With You, Heaven Knows the Devil Is (2012)

The armor-plated doors. And this burning inside us
The guards at full alert, their radio silence
We're crawling through the air ducts; we're lying on our backs
Like angels we're descending down the elevator shafts

The walls are 3 ft thick. I've got these x-ray eyes
Where there's a lock to pick, we'll find our way inside
I know it's not that much; I know it's not alright
I don't believe in luck when the walls are airtight

With silence the only soundtrack, light footfalls a metronome
The key to avoiding contact is doing the job alone
But no string is ever flawless and no man the perfect mark
So, hold your breath and walk soft, pray it doesn't fall apart

The walls are 3 ft thick. I've got these x-ray eyes
Where there's a lock to pick, we'll find our way inside
I know it's not that much; I know it's not alright
I don't believe in luck when the walls are airtight
