The Pineapple Thief - Every Trace Of Us lyrics
The Pineapple Thief
Bruce Soord: “The idea for this song came out of writing sessions I had with Gavin at his studio. Gavin played me this idea he had come up with and I immediately connected with it, straight away humming what would become the verse. I went into another room with my guitar to try out some chorus ideas while Gavin was in his studio playing out the middle section. It was one of those moments where everything came together so quickly. A lot of the guitar remains from that session, including all the lead riffs. Jon (bass) came up with the hooky chorus bass melody, Beren Matthews, our touring guitarist, added some brilliant guitar work, before Steve (keyboards) added his sonic icing on the cake. The words came later.”
[The Pineapple Thief - Every Trace Of Us lyrics]
The flames all bearing down on me
These walls they will be
Utterly destroyed with me
Let free
To burn inside my head
They won't let go
And put all its pain inside my head
At rest oh
Can you see them
They cut a desperate figure through my heart
Oh can't you see
They're taking over
Tearing every trace of us apart
So let them be
Just leave them
As far as I can see
They're all laid bare and bearing down on me
I know how it has to be
Just lie down and let them come to me
And put all this pain inside my head
At rest oh
Can you see them
They cut a desperate figure through my heart
Oh can't you see
They're taking over
Tearing every trace of us apart
So let them be
And put all this pain inside my head
At rest oh
Can you see them
They cut a desperate figure through my heart
Oh can't you see
They're taking over
Tearing every trace of us apart
So leave them be
