Lyrics
If we were metaphors
You're a raging sea
I'm a perfect storm.
You're a wildfire
I'm the wind that feeds you.
My flicker, my flame
All the shadows on the walls
They all know me by name.
We are wasted,
The dark is replacing
All of the bright in me.
I chase it;
So close, I can taste it.
It only ever made sense to me
Within my wildest dreams.
Drift
Out of the shadow you're in
The dawn will guide you.
Drift
Open your eyes;
O, sleeper, rise,
Or roll the dice again.
Love like a common thief,
Taking everything we want
And not a thing we need
You play me like a fiddle with a broken string.
My river, my rain
I'm thirsty for a taste
Though it terrifies me.
We are wasted,
The dark is replacing
All of the brighter things.
Blinded, soul, body, and mind
Look close — the scales will fall away
From your eyes, like rain
Drift
Out of the shadow you're in
The dawn will guide you.
Drift
Open your eyes;
O, sleeper, rise,
Or roll the dice again.
We keep the dirtiest secrets.
We keep the dirtiest secrets.
(Oh, don't we?)
(Oh, don't we?)
(Oh, don't we?)
(Oh, don't we?)
(Oh, don't we?)
(Oh, don't we?)
I was broken,
You tore 'em wide open:
The lies, and the make-believe.
I was sold, like
A fool and his gold;
Pearls cast to the swine.
I once was blind,
But I finally see.
Drift
Out of the shadow you're in
The dawn will guide you.
Drift
Open your eyes;
O, sleeper, rise,
Or roll the dice again.
It's a long, long way to the bottom.
It's a long, long way to the bottom.
It's a long, long way to the bottom.
It's a long, long way to the bottom.
