Lyrics The Drowned World - Lazy Habits

The Drowned World

News just in
As news tends to be
Sure enough it’s bad news again
The way the thunder dominates our skylines shows no signs of weakening
Subsiding
No place left to hide in the high rises became great concrete islands
While the british tried smiling through
You can see the tears fall through their waterproofs
First to go were the powerlines
Communication became impossible now panic drives
Roads blocked, people left their rides
Fabricate their locked doors and stayed inside
Well if it helps, it’s how most people died
Polluted water and no food supplies
Some made a break, some made a so-called boat that snapped
That you all drowned now choke clap clap
If statesman saw some flats collapsed
Hard to say if people stayed not emerged in tax
I never watched in tact without the strength to act
It’s impossible to see I said we’re turning back
Still I’m next to the pain that await us
Odds even placed on a lottery of saviours
Hope for the breeze to come to bury me
See the life that I lead
Look at the dream
Look at the grey which once was green
Open your eyes
Deepest inside it’s green
But you missed the point this is this earth
Each time a tide runs blood veins of London
Olympic village underwater marathan
Arises til a current under sun
Climbing the walls
Changing all the ceilings to floors
No discrimination it just drenches all
The old bought the new dead
The old reach the new port
Got to question the why and the what
For a need for a reason, the key for a door
Playing through it symphony, thinking that i’m in too deep
Knowing I can swim it without knowing if it’s meant to be
What if I reach that terminal beach and find mans tracks of retreat to the peaks
What if it holds like sanity for sanctuary
Is that enough for me to ask leaders for this balcony
Near to th edge my soul begins to see, shadow going long
A waterboard for feet
A sales team for a room at night
Navigates cold streets as I go see sights
Is it sign of life or just reflected light
See the mind plays tricks I’ve tried to fight
I summon up enough strength to stand cracked lip
Hard to be the last breath on this dry land
Off running like I missed my flight
Called out screaming, reached the ledge and dived
Look at the dream
Look at the grey which once was green
Open your eyes
Deepest inside it’s green
But you missed the point this is this earth
Look at the dream
Look at the grey which once was green
Open your eyes
Deepest inside it’s green
But you missed the point this is this earth
