We Die
(专辑: Let Them Eat Chaos - 2016)
Across the
street Above the
green, in the
flat with the
colourful curtains Alisha's wrapped in her blankets Head lent back on the
wall She's gripping her knees Looking for purpose, shaking and nervous She keeps her brave face on all day long But now, the
brave face is gone Something in the
changing seasons prickles in her skin all day Sucked her back through time and left her feeling far away He was in her dream She hasn't dreamt of him for months She's so tired when she sleeps, she doesn't really dream at all, but there he was Holding his belly, blood on his shirt, she heard him scream her name And then she saw him fall Alisha wipes her face and whispers to herself "It was just a
dream" She sniffs, and nods, and dries her eyes She checks the
time It's 04:18 It's a
strange thing, your face seems to fade with the
changing seasons Then for some reason it comes back more present than ever Well, not your face really, more a
sense of you Even though I
know it's happened, it's no more comprehensible than If it was an abstract thing, someone else's friend, are you Asking me for something, is there something I
should do? It's hard on your mother, she lost your little brother too But your sister's doing good, man, she's smart, smart like you And she'll finish her degree next year, try and find a
job I
suppose she's got her head screwed on right, you don't have to worry Is there something else, though? I
mean, if there is, I'm sorry 'Cause I
can't really think what you might want from me I
heard your voice aloud, it woke me up I
don't believe in ghosts Work's fine, life's good, Ty's nearly 4
now Smart enough to walk 'round and hear what I
don't say The
night it happened is vivid in my brain, it won't fade Life is long, still, some things don't change Nice to fall in love again but that ain't gonna happen soon I'm tryna get some money saved, fix up the
living room Nearly got in trouble, I
got angry with my manager There's this young girl who works with us He tried to put his hands on her It's such a
waste, so many idiots alive and kicking Why'd I
have to be the
only sane man in town? Well, I'm probably only saying that 'cause you're not around But I'm keeping my chin up though, I
don't let it get me down I
heard your voice aloud, it woke me up I
don't believe in ghosts You're with me all the
time I
think I
know you better than I
did when we were hanging out together What's it like where you've gone? Well, I
can feel it, it's ok, I
know you can't say But you've been with me all day, I
have to tell you When it happened, I
couldn't cry for ages But when it hit me, I
fucking screamed like a
lion in a
cage And, look, I
fasted, I
didn't eat a
thing for, like, a
week And I
just walked across the
heath in the
rain Spitting bars to the
grass, and listening to the
cars skidding past I
thought life would get more real or something more fast But it didn't When I
look at your son, though Life's hidden meanings come to the
front of my vision And it's weird, the
way I
see it right now, it's so strong I'd never be the
person I'd become if you would never gone Everything's connected, right? Everything's connected And even if I
can't read it right, everything's a
message We die so the
others can be born We age so the
others can be young The
point of life is live, love If you can, then pass it on, right? We die so the
others can be born We age so the
others can be young The
point of life is live, love If you can, then pass it on
