The Jezabels - Dark Storm lyrics
[The Jezabels - Dark Storm lyrics]
Shadow
How you rip me off my feet
Rape me of my time to sleep shallow
And from the sky, she speaks to me
And through her melody, lingers
I said, 'No, I don't want your love, no
I don't care anymore, flinger'
Though I was equipped with a rainship
And a fireship and a starship
All come to dance
No one told me the end of the line
Could be only emptiness
That would swallow all my love
I fell beneath the company
Now shall I sleep in a bed of blood
Down in my deep, the rolling sea
And in my angst for cool hips or softness
Or morning glow confidence
Well, I took it to the dog
Took it to the plants took it to the beach
I took it to the shark i found tenderness
But when I took it to the sky
To the bright white cockatoo on a satellite
She looked down on all my years
But with a click of a finger
She goes higher than the call for children
Higher than the stand that kills it
Should've slipped it off
I should've known there and then
But she swallowed all my love
I fell beneath the company
And now I sleep in a bed of blood
Down in the deep, the rolling sea
Oh you roll, roll over me
Yeah, you roll over me
Oh pristine, my hopeless thing
