Talking to Spotify and Radio X, Florence… Read More [Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I used to see the future and now I see nothin
~#**************#~
They cut out my eyes and sent me home packin
~#**************#~
To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration
~#**************#~
Cryin like Cassandra, I
~#**************#~
I used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
~#**************#~
And left me doin laundry to think on what Id done
~#**************#~
It wasnt me, it was the song
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I used to move into the future and bring it all back
~#**************#~
Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
~#**************#~
Now I creep out when theres no one about
~#**************#~
‘Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
~#**************#~
The gardеns overgrown
~#**************#~
And I run in the middle of thе road (Ooh)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Well, can you see me?
~#**************#~
I cannot see you
~#**************#~
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
~#**************#~
In this blindness Im condemned to
~#**************#~
Well, can you hear me?
~#**************#~
I cannot hear you
~#**************#~
Every song I thought I knew, Ive been deafened to
~#**************#~
And theres no one left to sing to
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
All the gods have been domesticated
~#**************#~
And Heaven is now overrated
~#**************#~
And the churches, they all closed their doors
~#**************#~
But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
~#**************#~
I try to still look with wonder on the world
~#**************#~
As the roses bloom
~#**************#~
And the riot van still plainly in view
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Well, can you see me?
~#**************#~
I cannot see you
~#**************#~
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
~#**************#~
In this blindness that Im condemned to
~#**************#~
Well, can you hear me?
~#**************#~
I cannot hear you
~#**************#~
Every song I thought I knew, Ive been deafened to
~#**************#~
And theres no one left to sing to
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
(Ooh)
~#**************#~
(Ooh)
~#**************#~
(Ooh, oh)
~#**************#~
Take me back (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
~#**************#~
Oh, drunken gods of slaughter (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
~#**************#~
You know Ive always been your favourite daughter (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Well, can you see me?
~#**************#~
I cannot see you
~#**************#~
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
~#**************#~
And if I run fast enough
~#**************#~
Could I break apart
~#**************#~
As empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
