lyrics
Look down
Eager
Child
Prove them
Now burn through this city
Half hand highway
And with fear instead
We’ll talk of young’un's schemes
Brought tears to a thousand giant's dreams
For all the nights
We'll fall asleep
These hands
Will purge our skin
Look down
Violent
Father
Hate them
An old man who hides in his wrinkles
This city walks on you
This walker carries too much
And it's bound to break
Chorus:
For all the nights
We'll fall asleep
These hands
Will purge our skin
For all the nights
We'll fall asleep
These hands
Will fall away
x2
Half life and kids in costumes
First life a fort as tribune
(Leads to emotion, life in a set lane
Leads to emotion, life in an afterburn)
We sail for shore and
All we've got is a single oar
So we spin in circles
'Til water turns to rust
We count the years
That still amount
And all we're left with is a fistful
A fistful of ties
*Chorus*
Eager
Child
Prove them
Now burn through this city
Half hand highway
And with fear instead
We’ll talk of young’un's schemes
Brought tears to a thousand giant's dreams
For all the nights
We'll fall asleep
These hands
Will purge our skin
Look down
Violent
Father
Hate them
An old man who hides in his wrinkles
This city walks on you
This walker carries too much
And it's bound to break
Chorus:
For all the nights
We'll fall asleep
These hands
Will purge our skin
For all the nights
We'll fall asleep
These hands
Will fall away
x2
Half life and kids in costumes
First life a fort as tribune
(Leads to emotion, life in a set lane
Leads to emotion, life in an afterburn)
We sail for shore and
All we've got is a single oar
So we spin in circles
'Til water turns to rust
We count the years
That still amount
And all we're left with is a fistful
A fistful of ties
*Chorus*
