Shearwater - Immaculate lyrics
[Shearwater - Immaculate lyrics]
Johnny, get a hold of your life
Wherever I go, your face is in front of me
You aren't breathing
Holding up the end of the line
If there ever was a crack in the ice
You don't believe in it
You are a diamond, set
On an immaculate height safe
Belly up and under the wire
Lying awake in the hours and the emptiness
Only to run from the days we are living in
You only get a look at your
Life when you're leaving it
And in the silences
When you're arrested in flight
When you lie on your back
With your eyes on the firmament
Your burning mouth, your blazing eyes
Come on! If you believe in it
It's a respectable life
Go police all the beats
You'll find nothing is innocent
Johnny, get a hold of your life
Stop at the edge till the animus drains away
Or follow the loneliest road
Run in the dark till a
Light comes screaming in
Through the silences
You are alone on the ice
And you stand on the brakes
To find nothing is happening
Wherever I go, your face is in front of me
You aren't breathing
Holding up the end of the line
If there ever was a crack in the ice
You don't believe in it
You are a diamond, set
On an immaculate height safe
Belly up and under the wire
Lying awake in the hours and the emptiness
Only to run from the days we are living in
You only get a look at your
Life when you're leaving it
And in the silences
When you're arrested in flight
When you lie on your back
With your eyes on the firmament
Your burning mouth, your blazing eyes
Come on! If you believe in it
It's a respectable life
Go police all the beats
You'll find nothing is innocent
Johnny, get a hold of your life
Stop at the edge till the animus drains away
Or follow the loneliest road
Run in the dark till a
Light comes screaming in
Through the silences
You are alone on the ice
And you stand on the brakes
To find nothing is happening
