Lightbulbs Lyrics by Ben Ottewell

Shapes and Shadows

0

When the night is thrown, I'll be waiting
When the race is won, every thread spun
A dose of hydrogen and we'll make it
Conjure helium, ask the question
Corpus callosum, get on fire
I'll pull you to my burning side
It's hard but it's alright, soft, red and light
Everything in here in the belly of this beast
Owing to black tongue, it said it could smile
You swallowed the lightbulbs, swallowed the clocks
It's tearing us through it, it's tearing its hide
When the dust is thrown and we float home
There are lights inside our broke red eyes
The doors of [Incomprehensible] and to break in
Conjure laughter from box of questions
Corpus callosum, get on fire
I'll help you to my spinning side
It's hard but it's alright, warm, sad and bright
Everything in here in the belly of this beast
Don't let your lights on, it said it could smile
You swallowed the lightbulbs, swallowed the clocks
It's tearing us through it, it's tearing its hide
Echo and wound down, floating in space
The questions threaten, the method is grave
And we can be found out, I'm laughing like mad
This is what we came for, this is what we had
