Ben Howard - The Defeat lyrics

There is no rush when you don't belong
Turns out we don't all
Fight like dogs in the end
Most of us want to roll out
Roll under the grass
You are limbless, cartoon
No bridge in your song

Spirulina won't cure my heartbreak
I was a dreamer when I learned to take
In between her and the fireplace
There are factors that conditioned me
Something in the canopy, clearly

And the blank ones
Cartwheel out of the furnace
The mould never cracked you see
The girls in St Denis
Still sleep on their backs understood a fact
When you spoke in all
Your marvelous ideologies
The world is always at ease at ease
At ease don't you see

And the deaths on the highways
From drinking at casinos feel so natural
Every day a dice roll every way you gamble
Where is something I can handle?
And the world void of Petrov, our savior
We are taught to savour
Everyone else's failures endlessly

Even the greatest the very very greatest
Gave up, tapped out
Told all you fuckers to lie down
Yet still you found cathedrals of dissent
Where does the robber go
Where does the robber go to repent? Tell me

'Till there you were
You wouldn't buy a round
For your best friend see, it's trickled down
On you I don't depend there you go then, bye
Another end, bye infinitum, bye
There you go then, bye
With such a heavy sound

There is no rush when you don't belong
Turns out we don't all fight
Like dogs in the end
Most of us want to roll out
Roll under the grass
You're a limbless cartoon
No bridge in your song

Make me wonder again
Or make me learn to pretend
Make me wonder again
Or make me learn to pretend
Make me wonder again
Or make me learn to pretend
