I can keep my head in sight
When the modern drift is all I have.
You can pull my head aside,
But the modern drift is all I have.
When the moment dies
And I come to you
With a broken lie
That I made for you
Will I let you see you're not
With the living ghosts?
Will they catch your sight
Or the back of you?
I can keep my head in sight
When the modern drift is all I have.
You can pull my head aside,
But the modern drift is all I have.
We could be so strong
But we're all afraid.
They will play your hands
Like a puppeteer.
And the dreams aren't true
But we know it—we know that tune
That the angel sang to the hollow death:
"I can keep my head in sight
When the modern drift is all I have.
"You can pull my head aside,
But the modern drift is all I have.
"It's all I have".
