[Verse 1] |
|
The city's hungry |
|
I can feel it in the heat |
|
My stomach's empty |
|
I feel it in my teeth |
|
Heard your voice last night in my sleep |
|
A silhouette of a memory I wish I didn't keep |
|
When the nightmare's over |
|
All that's left behind |
|
Are the same words on repeat: |
|
Carry on, carry on, carry on |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Our best laid plans |
|
Are never in our hands |
|
Caught up, cast away |
|
Like curses in the wind |
|
Search a waste of desert sand |
|
Caught up, cast away |
|
Like curses in the wind |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
I feel the weight of a legacy |
|
It's bearing down on me |
|
Your voice is haunting me |
|
All the time it sings |
|
Same words at night in my sleep |
|
Same words on repeat |
|
It carries on for centuries |
|
I watch the future unfold and truth be told |
|
It caught me clean off guard |
|
Things fall apart, the center cannot hold |
|
Twenty centuries of sleep |
|
With our backs against the wall |
|
We're not caving in |
|
Let the tide meet the shoreline |
|
We can drink it all in |
