Raised By Swans — Sightings lyrics

Lyrics

another clue in the codebook i found
where a nervous undercurrent’s hushed
by forest sounds
young love
you lit them up from above
a bird of prey
your talons around the sun
angel on the Tiergarten’s edge
it’s been an empty sort of feeling
keeping now from then
we’re just echoes bullets set up impact lost
and whole worlds to defend
random motion
petty thief
lost boys walking in their sleep
some places i’ll never leave
oh my old friend
the dotted line descends
lose the path to find it underfoot again
where do i begin
where do i begin
another clue in the codebook i found
where a furious undercurrent
dragged a wall down
young love
the targets we fall short of shuttered searchlights
attacks we can’t recall
train circling a midnight square
swore i saw your shadow there
my heart leapt into the air
oh my old friend
this can’t be the end
of the story we’re pretending that we’re in where do i begin
where do i begin
