We Are The Emergency - Hello, My Name Is Distance

Drop all these words
They fall on deaf ears
Drop all these words
­
All the times you've felt the ground decay
and wished the earth would take you too
To keep a world inside your head
Know there's a line a mile long who'd gladly take the plunge with you
We'll mark an X on the horizon
And watch what dreams we have come true
­
So pick a spot in the distance
And put all this behind you
Don't look back at the past
It will catch up It will catch up
And it will drown you It will drown you
No more afraid when
The whole world is sinking
You're finally ready to swim
­
Fragile is this sense of disbelief I find in you
If you can pull the weakest string,
The tightest threads can come undone
Unravelled in my thoughts where you cant see
Pulled apart before me and I cant seem to find the end
­
I'm watching that place now,
In the corner of your mouth
Where a smile slowly creeps,
But you won't let it out
­
Your eyes
It hides in your eyes
­
It hides in your eyes
Knowing what they have seen
In the way that they shine
Reflecting all that has been
