Lyrics Backlit - This Or The Apocalypse

Backlit

We’re the scraps left behind in ground zero
From the blast that came to collect on its debt
Blowing a gale over the corpses
Over the hills that swallowed our footsteps
We kill the time as it was done to us
We point our hands in the shapes of guns and we time it
All washed out and fading in the foreground
The hammer draws back, go find your peace
We’re the great whale hooked and robbed of it’s hide
As the jaybird watches yellow jackets close in
Gulf War, empty the beds of our fathers
Arms race — let fly the wolves in our hearts
Get up with 27 minutes left in '68 every day
Everything.
Nothing.
Me
Everything.
Nothing.
Me
We kill the time as it was done to us
We point our hands in the shapes of guns and we time it
All washed out and fading in the foreground
The hammer draws back, go find your peace
Nobody notices the cowards fall
Fall just like the brave
Nobody notices the cowards fall
Fall just like the brave
All washed out and fading in the foreground
The hammer draws back, go find your peace
Everything.
Nothing.
Me
Everything.
Nothing.
Me
