Continental Drift - Hellions

Can I still want her hate?

Remember her first steps

It’s astonishing to me

She grew so elegantly

Running fingers through her hair

She’s cold and I can’t leave her yet

My child, are you hearing me?

Put something in your stomach, try to breathe for me if you can

I can’t imagine all the grief you harbour in your head

You told me things haven’t been the same but then surely you’d make amends

I know you weren’t on the best of terms with her back then

Can it ever be the same

When we’re burdened by the weight of empty space?

The timpani roll off undead

Feel the walls of our home like insects

And those wings, they’re fluttering

(No, no, no, no)

You and me, forced to face eternity where she lay

The eternity boss and the eternity that awaits

And I know, I know you’re scared after death to retire to an empty room

Where there’s only the silence, everything you knew consumed

Can it ever be the same

When we’re burdened by the weight of empty space?

The timpani roll off undead

Feel the walls of our home like insects

And those wings, they’re fluttering

Can it ever be the same

We’re burdened by the weight of empty space?

The timpani roll off undead

Feel the walls of our home like insects

And those wings, they’re fluttering
