Lyrics The Worst of Us - Johnny Foreigner

The Worst of Us

We are the grey
Of all the cities in between
A fortress
Proxy the beach
Ringed with new steal
And out of Reach
I’ve been walking through a monochrome half-life
The streets shrink and the skyline blocks the sun
Whole weeks where I never see daylight
I’ve been dreaming of the ocean
So drop out when you want to
I’m convinced I need you
To stabilise!
We make each other scared we’ll
Settle like our parents
But that’s just the worst of us
(White mountains) White mountains on an advert you saw
I’ve been clutching for the wires in the darkness
Worried I’m worrying the guide ropes to a thread
I’m just waiting for the bubble to burst
For the cable to snap
For the piano to fall on my head
In the nuclear snow of the TV glow
That’s just the worst of us
See the prize, but prize but never the risk
Mounts Everest
That’s just the worst of us
And I’m trying to be more scripted
Trying to mold these metaphors but
That’s just the worst of us
Young adult, drunk and dramatic
Decants the Atlantic
That’s just the worst of us
White mountains (white mountains)
