Xiu Xiu New Life Immigration Lyrics

it is turning from day to dark
armageddon
what made you think life was special
when I look at you I see
there is one life that is special

we don't need to live to love
everyone has failed us and we have failed everyone
we don't need to live to love

soon this will all be gone
to spare us kisses in the flood
a piece of paper in my hand
a vow of double suicide
the end of the world is avoidable

our fire escape is five floors above the street
we can sit and watch Los Angeles burning
hold hands, turn around,
lean over backwards
this is the quiet we promised each other
this is the love we've always dreamt of
