LYRICS

I see a face that I don’t recognise
Your cheeks are all carved out like someone
Got at you with a sundae spoon
They’re all trying to eat you now
They’re all trying to eat you now
They don’t know you like I do
I see you’re growing weary
I think I could show you something new
But they’re all making too much sound
I don’t wanna yell right now
Outside the rain feels nice
You’re in the back room doing lines
Of something I’m not familiar with
This stuff seems to seek you out
I think it’s finally starting to wear you down
See vultures circling
Not gonna sit by watch them pick you apart
I’ll let them take my eyes
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
Is it too late for you to drive out
I’m scared they’re gonna eat you now
I’m seeing names and faces
Hearing anecdotes that I don’t really wanna know
I keep trying to block them out
They’re all making too much sound
See vultures circling
Not gonna sit by watch them pick you apart
I’ll let them take my eyes
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
Man there ain’t no doubt
That we’ve got two cups on a string
From ear to ear
Things are making less and less sense
Since we picked up on a scent in here
Oh god, please don’t ask me about it now
Soon you’re gonna work it out
The world is gonna eat us now
The world is gonna eat us now
The world is gonna eat us now
And they’re just gonna spit you out
See vultures circling
Not gonna sit by watch them pick you apart
(The world is gonna eat us now)
I’ll let them take my eyes
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
(The world is gonna eat us now)
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
(The world is gonna eat us now)
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
(The world is gonna eat us now)
So I don’t have to see them get to your heart
I don’t have to see them get to your heart

What is it
That thing that makes you forget to try so hard
Fill it up with more things
Until you forget what you are
Melancholy all the time
Even when you get what you want
Never quite feel satisfied
Let’s open the curtains
Wake you up
You got a lot to be baby
How can you see with all that
With all that mess in your eyes
Cry it out
Cry it out
You got a lot to be darlin’
How can you see with all that
With all that mess in your eyes
You’re in loops
All the stories really velcro to your mind
Tugging at the tenderness
Of that frightened little child
It’s getting late
Put your fears to bed
The pen to the paper
A real nice way to clear the head
I held you up
Limp and blue
Let’s separate false from true
I’ll wrap my love around you
Replace what bound you
You got a lot to be baby
How can you see with all that
With all that mess in your eyes
Cry it out
Cry it out
You got a lot to be darlin’
How can you see with all that
With all that mess in your eyes

Ill lick my wounds and tell you I messed up
Again
Ill clear the room and say I made it up
Pretend
That everything is better than it was
Before
Leave myself sinking deep into a hole
Once more
(La la la)
(You’re not right, you’re not right, you’re not right)
Don’t hold me up to the light
(You’re not right, you’re not right,
You look like something flawed and ugly)
Don’t hold me up to the light
I’ve sewn myself up so tight
Don’t make it all untie
You’re becoming overgrown and wild
My dear
You get away with it just like a child
No fear
The mysteries of life they bring you right
To tears
Looking for love in dusty corners dark
And fierce
(La la la)
(You’re not right, you’re not right, you’re not right)
Don’t hold me up to the light
(You’re not right, you’re not right,
You look like something flawed and ugly)
Don’t hold me up to the light
I’ve sewn myself up so tight
Don’t make it all untie
Looking over shoulders isn’t wise
to do
So everything I do from now’s a start
Brand new
Ill colour in the spaces cover up
The blue
I shed my creature skin and venture out
With you
With you
With you
Don’t hold me up to the light
Don’t hold me up to the light
