Snakes lyrics

Snakes lyrics song presented by Bastille : Ooouh, I'm not ready Ooouh, I'm not ready Ooouh, I'm not ready Ooouh, I'm not ready Ooouh, I'm not ready Ooouh, I'm not ready Ooouh, I'm not ready Ooouh, I'm not ready Snakes are patting our hills Followed from the grass I keep keeping them away Running from the soldiers can not last If I'm not ready Life will just eat me whole If I'm not steady Maybe I'll lose control But it's easier to bury My head in the sand sometimes Yes, it's easier to bury My head in the sand sometimes Yeah, I know, I know, I know It's not the right way to go But I'm afraid that the ground will just swallow me whole Now, the sky is living dark Come and see the polar start to roar Tomorrow we'll be picking up the case We gotta have the zones we can not hold (?) If I'm not ready Life will just eat me whole If I'm not steady Maybe I'll lose control But it's easier to bury My head in the sand s...

Skulls lyrics

Skulls lyrics song presented by Bastille : I came here for sanctuary Away from the winds and the sounds of the city I came here to get some peace Way down deep where the shadows are heavy I can't help but think of you In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander To some distant century When everyone we know is six feet under When all of our friends are dead and just a memory And we're side by side, it's always been just you and me For all to see When our lives are over and all that remains Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms I'll be buried here with you And I'll hold in these hands all that remains I don't want to rest in peace I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you I hope you can make me laugh Six feet down when we're bored of each other A match is our only light It's day of the dead, I'm Indiana Jones here These coins sit upon our eyes Pull our funds we'll pay the boat t...

Axe To Grind lyrics

Axe To Grind lyrics song presented by Bastille : Long lost opinions, all the words you can't redeem Don't come round here and be a slave to old ideas Scream hallelujah, if it's a thing that helps you breathe Your iron rule has often had me on my knees You better sharpen up. You better sharpen up. Because all you have is your axe to grind, grind, grind round here You better sharpen up. You better sharpen up. Because all you have is your Axe to grind, grind, grind round here Breaking the silence like I'm bursting at the seams So many stifled thoughts and long forgotten dreams Scream hallelujah, I can almost taste deprive Your iron rule has often had me on my knees You better sharpen up. You better sharpen up. Because all you have is your axe to grind, grind, grind round here You better sharpen up. You better sharpen up. Because all you have is your axe to grind, grind, grind round here Keep on talking to yourself 'cause no one needs to hear the words you read love Ke...

Remains lyrics

Remains lyrics song presented by Bastille : I came here for sanctuary, away from the winds and the sounds of the city. I came here to get some peace, way down deep where the shadows are heavy. I can't help but think of you. In these four walls my thoughts seem to wonder to some distant century where everyone we know is six feet under. When all of our friends are dead and just a memory and we're site by site, it's always been just you and me for all to see. When our lives are over and all that remains. Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave. And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms, I'll be buried here with you. And I'll hold in these hands, all that remains. I don't want to rest in peace, we can haunt each other's dreams. We'll fight underneath this turd, bicker away in darkness. We'll find our way to result our way from the lands of the living. We'll find a common ground and fall in love all over again. When all of our fr...

Bite Down lyrics

Bite Down lyrics song presented by Bastille : You don't have to look any further I've been waiting here for you for time You don't have to look any further You're missing what's before your eyes No one's gonna stick the pieces together for you Together for you No one's gonna stick the pieces together for you Together for you You've got your claws buried deep Bite down, bite down into me Bite down, bite down into me You better sink your teeth before I disappear Bite down, bite down into me Ooh, I'm not gonna try Ooh, I'm not gonna try Ooh, I'm not gonna try No, no, no, I'm not gonna try Oh I'm tryna keep my composure But every time you shake coming down I die You've been...

Weapon Lyrics

Weapon Lyrics song presented by Bastille : [Angel Haze] This is vocal detection Front line open intellection Outlining all his imperfections This is his fucking confession Right now you cause that what Screaming you want it and more Sit down ambassador reference Right now your voice is a weapon Wake up to stars in the sky Watch light revolve with your mind Watch all the storms rising And put all your palms in the sky No more falling to pressure No more failing acceptance Throw all your hells towards the heavens Cuz your voice is a weapon [Dan] And your voice is a weapon And we’ll do with it what we can And your voice is a weapon And we’ll do with it what we can I’ll fall into your arms again I’ll fall into your arms again I’ll fall into your arms again I’ll fall into your arms [Haze] We dance with the devils And make your halos the color of sinner’s portraits And smothering it means everything’s lovely again Nothing’s quite as it seems Society’s all a disease Kill all your fear in you...

The Driver Lyrics

The Driver Lyrics song presented by Bastille : [Verse:] Shout out from the bottom of my lungs A plague on both your houses This thing, it's a family affair It's drawing out my weakness [Hook 1:] Big boys don't cry They don't ask why [Hook 2:] There was a time when a moment like this Wouldn't ever cross my mind The sun will rise with my name on your lips 'Cuz everything will change tonight [Verse 2:] I want to be back on the ground Where my feet touch my shadow I want to dig my heels in the dirt Feel it right between all of my toes Anything to stop floating on Drag me down back down below Take breath and push the anger down Try to remember calmness [Hook 1:] Big boys don't cry They don't ask why [Hook 2:] There was a time when a moment like this Wouldn't ever cross my mind The sun will rise with my name on your lips 'Cuz everything will change tonight [Verse 3:] Hey now, what's the gravity upon your face? Aren't I the one who's bleedi...

Torn Apart Lyrics

Torn Apart Lyrics song presented by Bastille : I could only be myself, with you around. Oh, with you around. And now there's nothing left for me to think about. Woah, to think about. And it hurts like hell, To be torn apart. And it hurts like hell, To be thrown around. We were born to be together, Torn apart. Torn apart. We were born to be together, Torn apart. Torn apart. You stepped with a heavy tread and left your mark. Oh, your mark on me. The space you used to fill is now this great black hole. Oh, you're out of sight but not out my mind. But it hurts like hell, To be torn apart. And it hurts like hell, To be thrown around. We were born to be together, Torn apart. Torn apart. We were born to be together, Torn apart. Torn apart. We were born to be together, Torn apart. Torn apart. We were born to be together, Torn apart. Torn apart.

Weight Of Living Part 2 Lyrics

Weight Of Living Part 2 Lyrics song presented by Bastille : The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living All that you desired, when you were a child was to be old, was to be old Now that you are here, suddenly you fear you've lost control, lost control Do you like the person you've become? [CHORUS] Under the weight of living, you're under the weight of living Under the weight of living you are under the weight of living The weight of living The weight of living It all crept upon you, in the night it got you and plagued your mind, it plagued your mind Everyday it passes, faster than the last did and you'll be old, soon you'll be old Do you like the person you've become? [CHORUS] Oh, tell yourself this is how it's going to be, oh tell yourself this is how it's going to be The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living

Weight Of Living Part 1 Lyrics

Weight Of Living Part 1 Lyrics song presented by Bastille : There's an albatross around your neck, All the things you've said, and the things you've done, Can you carry it with no regrets, Can you stand the person you've become, Ooh there's a light [x2] [CHORUS] Your Albatross, let it go, let it go, Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake The heavy weight of living Stepping forward out into the day Shrugging off the dust and memory Though it's soaring still above your head It is out of sight and none shall see Oooh there's a light [x2] [CHORUS] Your Albatross, let it go, let it go, Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake The heavy weight of living When you just can't seem to shake The heavy weight of Living It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes [x4] [CHORUS] Your Albatross, let it go, let it go, Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake The heavy we...

Things We Lost In The Fire Lyrics

Things We Lost In The Fire Lyrics song presented by Bastille : Things we lost to the flames Things we'll never see again All that we've amassed Sits before us, shattered into ash These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire We sat and made a list Of all the things that we have Down the backs of table tops Ticket stubs and your diaries I read them all one day When loneliness came and you were away Oh they told me nothing new, But I love to read the words you used These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire Oh, oh, I was the match and you were the rock Maybe we started this fire We sat apart and watched All we had burned on the pyre (You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now (We said) we were born with nothing And...

These Streets Lyrics

These Streets Lyrics song presented by Bastille : These streets are yours, you can keep them I don't want them They pull me back, and I surrender To the memories I run from Oh, we have paved these streets With moments of defeat But even if we won't admit it to ourselves We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else But I won't show my face here anymore I won't show my face here anymore These streets are yours, you can keep them In my mind it's like you haunt them And passing through, I think I see you In the shapes of other women Oh we have stained these walls With our mistakes and flaws But even if we won't admit it to ourselves We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else But I won't show my face here anymore I won't show my face here anymore All that's left behind Is a shadow on my mind All that's left behind Is a shadow on my mind But even if we won't admit it to ourselves We'll walk upon these streets and ...

The Silence Lyrics

The Silence Lyrics song presented by Bastille : Tell me a piece of your history That you're proud to call your own Speak in words you picked up As you walked through life alone. We used to swim in your stories And be pulled down by their tide, Choking on the words And drowning with no air inside. Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault My dear, my dear, my dear. Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard, My dear, my dear, oh dear. It is not enough to be dumbstruck; (Can you fill the silence?) You must have the words in that head of yours. And oh, oh, can you feel the silence? I can't take it anymore, 'Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck. (Can you fill the silence?) Tell me a piece of your history That you've never said out loud. Pull the rug beneath my feet And shake me to the ground. Wrap me around your fingers, Break the silence open wide, And before it seeps into my ears, It fills me up from the inside. Now you've hit a wall and you...

Overjoyed Lyrics

Overjoyed Lyrics song presented by Bastille : Oh I feel overjoyed When you listen to my words I see them sinking in Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin Words are all we have We'll be talking We'll be talking These words are all we have We'll be talking And I hear you calling in the dead of night And I hear you calling in the dead of night You lean towards despair Any given opportunity you're there But what is there to gain? When you're always falling off the fence that way. Words are all we have We'll be talking We'll be talking These words are all we have We'll be talking And I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Ooooooh And I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night And I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Ooooooh Oh I feel overjoyed When you listen to my words

Laura Palmer Lyrics

Laura Palmer Lyrics song presented by Bastille : Walking out into the dark Cutting out a different path Lead by your beating heart All the people of the town Cast their eyes right to the ground In matters of the heart The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path upon the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found But This is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Summer evening breezes blew Drawing voices deep from you Lead by your beating heart What a year and what a night What terrifying final sights Put out your beating heart The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path upon the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found But This is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why? To see where it would ...

Laughter Lines Lyrics

Laughter Lines Lyrics song presented by Bastille : You took me to your favourite place on Earth to see the tree they cut down ten years from your birth. Our fingers traced in circles round its history, we brushed our hands right back in time through centuries. As you held me down, you said: "I'll see you in the future when we're older and we are full of stories to be told. Cross my heart and hope to die, I'll see you with your laughter lines." Changes on our hands and on our faces, oh, oh memories are mapped out by the lines we'll trace. As you held me down, you said: "I'll see you in the future when we're older and we are full of stories to be told. Cross my heart and hope to die, I'll see you with your laughter lines." Ashen faces in cold breeze, ashen faces in cold breeze, all the stories you will leave, all the stories you will leave. I'll see you in the future when we're older and we are full of stories to be told. Cross my ...

Icarus Lyrics

Icarus Lyrics song presented by Bastille : Ooh Look who's digging their own grave That is what they all say You'll drink yourself to death Look who makes their own bed Lies right down within it And what will you have left? Out on the front doorstep Drinking from a paper cup You won't remember this Living beyond your years Acting out all their fears You feel it in your chest Your hands protect the flames From the wild winds around you Icarus is flying too close to the sun Icarus's life, it has only just begun It's just begun Standing on the cliff face Highest foe you'll ever grace It scares me half to death Look out to the future But it tells you nothing So take another breath Your hands protect the flames From the wild winds around you Icarus is flying too close to the sun Icarus's life, it has only just begun This is how it feels to take a fall Icarus is flying towards an early grave You put up your defenses when you leave You leave because you're cert...

Haunt Lyrics

Haunt Lyrics song presented by Bastille : We'll make our agreements, About when to meet, And I'll leave you in the doorway, The cold evening aches, As it leaves in it's wake, All the memories left by the day, And I'm questioning why, As you look to the sky, That it's cloudless up above our heads, And thoughts come to mind, That our short little lives, Haven't left the path that they will tread, They will tread I'll come back to haunt you, Memories will taunt you, And I will try to love you, It's not like I'm above you, The wisdom we learn as our minds, They do burn I'll entice the naivety in youth, As adults will grow and maturity shows, The terrifying rarity of truth, As you turn to your mind, And your thoughts they rewind, To old happenings and things that are done, You can't find what's passed, Make that happiness last, Seeing from those eyes what you've become, What you've become I'll come back to haunt you, Memories will...

Get Home Lyrics

Get Home Lyrics song presented by Bastille : How am I gonna get myself back home? Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay How am I gonna get myself back home? Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay We are the last people standing At the end of the night We are the greatest pretenders In the cold morning light This is just another night And we've had many of them To the morning we're cast out But I know I'll land here again How am I gonna get myself back home? Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay How am I gonna get myself back home? Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay There's a light in the bedroom But it's dark Scattered around on the floor All my thoughts This is just another night And we've had many of them To the morning we're cast out But I know I'll land here again How am I gonna get myself back home? Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay How am I gonna get myself back home? Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay The birds are mocking me They call to be heard The birds are mocking me They curse my return How am I gonna get myself back home? Ay-ay, ay-ay, ...
