Mother Emanuel - Local Natives

In a thousand ways

I feel the weight of

I feel the weight of

Carolina’s pain

What’s left to take from?

What’s left to take from?

Closer now they come

Farther now I run

Eyes the other way

Violence without cause

Hours 'til the dawn

Eyes the other way

In a thousand ways

The sound of pockets jangling

The sound of broken glass

In a single frame

Closed-circuit television

Everyone tuning in

Closer now they come

Farther now I run

Eyes the other way

Violence without cause

Hours 'til the dawn

Eyes the other way

In a thousand ways

I see the changes

I feel awakened

Ah, will it stay the same?

Where is the morning?

Where is the morning?

Closer now they come

Farther now I run

Eyes the other way

Violence without cause

Hours 'til the dawn

Eyes the other way
