Delta Sleep - Single File lyrics
[Delta Sleep - Single File lyrics]
Wake up to a world overcast in concrete skies
Where the smell of exhaust is a
Factor in people’s daily lives
You elevate to earn yourself the status
Then walk home alone at the end
Of the day in single file
Hard to come to terms with how they do it
When the streets are lined with
Houses you can’t live in
Meagre sleep to spend time in tall buildings
In front of scrolling numbers
On computer screens
All her friends stay logged into the system
In fear of what would go down
If they tried to hide
Hard to come to terms with how they do it
When the air is formed of things
That you can’t breathe in
Scan the streets in search
Of something better
I’ve been here since I can remember
Hard to come to terms with all
The consequence at stake to stay
There she’d lie awake for hours
Dreaming up a better place, where maybe
Hard to come to terms with all
The effort that it takes, to stay here
She’d lie awake for hours
Thinking of another way
My Lady, you’re gone it's done
My mind is racing but I can’t feel my head
This world an island
Isolated conscience buried in
The sand sleeping
The blurry memories they come as they go
So hard to focus when
The City watches everything
You do and stops you from dreaming
I’m leaving soon
Where the smell of exhaust is a
Factor in people’s daily lives
You elevate to earn yourself the status
Then walk home alone at the end
Of the day in single file
Hard to come to terms with how they do it
When the streets are lined with
Houses you can’t live in
Meagre sleep to spend time in tall buildings
In front of scrolling numbers
On computer screens
All her friends stay logged into the system
In fear of what would go down
If they tried to hide
Hard to come to terms with how they do it
When the air is formed of things
That you can’t breathe in
Scan the streets in search
Of something better
I’ve been here since I can remember
Hard to come to terms with all
The consequence at stake to stay
There she’d lie awake for hours
Dreaming up a better place, where maybe
Hard to come to terms with all
The effort that it takes, to stay here
She’d lie awake for hours
Thinking of another way
My Lady, you’re gone it's done
My mind is racing but I can’t feel my head
This world an island
Isolated conscience buried in
The sand sleeping
The blurry memories they come as they go
So hard to focus when
The City watches everything
You do and stops you from dreaming
I’m leaving soon
