White Lies - Peace & Quiet lyrics

[White Lies - Peace & Quiet lyrics]

After the red ants, the black-out
Come peace and quiet
Those little footprints fleshed out
Calm in my mind i lay like a compass
Digit's accusing the sunrise
Raindrops abseil the window and flinch
Through the hurt cries

I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss
Pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
(when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy

After the hunt and the sweat
Now come peace and quiet
Your head on my heart anchored
The storm in my eyes i lay like a carcass
Your lips never letting the blood dry
And so I pray for tomorrow and wait
Listening out for a reply

I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss
Pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
(when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy

I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss
Pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
(when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy
