lyrics

They
(lyrics: the fly/Xam Eitsirhc)

They tried to hide
What it is that that you’re feeling
And knowing what it is
That you’re really not
A static situation
A dismembered song
Just a drop in time
U’ll see
The ordinary dream
Was just a catalyst
To spawn a lazy day

Embraced the gloom inside
With a liberated mind
For plastic things to fade away
For sweet sunshine

When u breathe
U hold the key
To the ordinary scheme
As we shed some light
Upon a shady day

Chorus: But they
Won’t let u be
What u want to be
They
Would put u down
When u know in yer heart
U’ll make the world feel better
They
Can’t see what it is
That u want to see
They
Can’t hear that sound

They tried to groom u
And fool u
Their stealing
And knowing what it is
You really want
A sonic repetition
Monotone thought
Justified
Take back the steal
The opiate to feel
As empty vessels fill
To thrive another way

Arose and stayed on track
While dwelling in the black
A ray of lights’
Not far away
No looking back
And as it comes
And pulls u through
Break the old
Rebuild the new
As empty vessels dream
To dig another day

Chorus
