Tide of Lantern (wersja 2)

Verse 1

Four in the morning, tarmac slick and cold

Tread on the curb, done with what I'm told

Steam off the bonnet, cowbell in the wire

Numb in the jaw, breathing in the fire

Pre-Chorus

Pulse in my knuckles, shaking off the grip

Watch the dark city take a sudden dip

Can you feel the rise? Can you feel the float?

Snapping every chain wrapped around the throat

Chorus

Tide of lantern, let it flood, wash the chest

Drifting in the smoke, give the ghost a rest

Tide of lantern, let the black glass glow

Cut the wire loose, let the whole world go

Verse 2

Puddle on the concrete, yellow markers slide

Breezeblock alley, nothing left to hide

Static on the dial, velvet on the wheel

Losing all the bruises that I used to feel

Pre-Chorus

Pulse in my knuckles, shaking off the grip

Watch the dark city take a sudden dip

Can you feel the rise? Can you feel the float?

Snapping every chain wrapped around the throat

Chorus

Tide of lantern, let it flood, wash the chest

Drifting in the smoke, give the ghost a rest

Tide of lantern, let the black glass glow

Cut the wire loose, let the whole world go

Bridge

No floor underneath, no shadow overhead

Drowning in the light where the demons bled

Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to claim

Proper weightless now, burning out the name

Chorus

Tide of lantern, let it flood, wash the chest

Drifting in the smoke, give the ghost a rest

Tide of lantern, let the black glass glow

Cut the wire loose, let the whole world go
