Bastille - Way Beyond lyrics

"What the fuck are y'all
Doing is the question this is the question"

The animals break out their cages
Now chaos is raining down around us
But here we stand with our arms folded
Do you wanna be free of this?

When panic rises like the oceans
We just keep on flicking through the stations
'Cause if we don't post it doesn't happen
Oh, I wanna be free of this

Have you and I been
Sleepwalking way too long?
Won't someone pour ice water on me?

It only matters if we care now
If you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
And I remember when we cared now
If you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
My shoulders

Movies and news on television
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference
Oh
When real life's more fucked up than fiction
Do you wanna be free of this?

Have you and I been
Sleepwalking way too long?
Won't someone pour ice water on me?

It only matters if we care now
If you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
And I remember when we cared now
If you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders

I don't wanna play dumb (dumb) , anymore
I just wanna feel something
(something) , like before
I don't wanna feel numb (numb) , anymore
I just wanna feel something
(something) , like before

It only matters if we care now
If you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
And I remember when we cared now
If you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
My shoulders

"Television viewers have the choice of
Watching the tragedy play
Out from the safety and comfort of their
Living rooms but victims have
To respond to the
Pressure of the media while still in shock"
If you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
My shoulders
