The Shapeshifter Lyrics by Deadlights (Post-Hardcore)

Mesma

2017

Falling out of place
\nI found my feet in outer space
\nI saw you there and it was so uncomfortable
\nYou said you weren't alone
\nAnd That the earth is temporary
\nThe things you say, they don't
\nStrike me as your own
\n
\nA backwards thought takes hold a crowd
\nBut no one can say it out loud
\nPassive aggressive tyrants
\nClaiming to be giants
\nWell I don't believe in mind control
\nBut I can't shake this feeling that I'm involved
\nIn something I don't understand
\nIf it's sinister or a master plan
\n
\nStanding in place of the sun
\nI'll watch from above
\nThe problems we've caused leave no clouds to make shapes from
\nOnly troubles we choose to ignore
\nNow I realize
\nIt's not gravity pulling me down
\n
\nSomeone's got in your ear
\nAnd Reminded you the strength of fear
\nDon't give it in you're so
\nMuch more than skin and bones
\n
\nHeart shaped lungs scream out for the unborn children
\nEntering the world to be one of the billions
\nOf people here stuck in this rut (alone)
\nHeart shaped lungs scream out for the unborn children
\nEntering the world to be one of the billions
\nOf people here with an uneasy feeling in their gut
\n
\nDon't fix it if its not broken
\nI'm afraid it could be busted beyond repair
\nI won't be helpless
\nHow do you just sit there?
\nContent with the life you've chosen
\nClose and safe with everyone's nose in it
\nWhere did I sign my name on the dotted line?
\n
\nStanding in place of the sun
\nI'll watch from above
\nThe problems we've caused leave no clouds to make shapes from
\nOnly troubles we choose to ignore
\nNow I realize
\nIt's not gravity pulling me down
\nAnd I must have missed the head count
\n
\nIf I could make my voice clearer
\nIf I could make my point stand out
\nThen maybe they would notice
\nRadio silence echoes through the air
\nI must've missed the headcount
\n'Cause there's people everywhere
\n
\nRadio silence echoes through the air
\n'Cause nobody's answering any of our prayers
\nI can see a mans hands stretched out up toward the sun
\nHe's begging for his life back and his wrongs to be undone
\n(If I could make my voice clearer, If I could make my point stand out)
\n
\nWell I don't believe in mind control
\nBut I can't shake this feeling that I'm involved
\nIn something that I can't understand
\nA sinister plan\n\n
