Continental Drift Lyrics by Hellions

Rue B-Sides

2019

[Verse 1]
"Can I still warm her hands?
I remember her first steps
It's astonishing to me -
She grew so elegantly
Running fingers through her hair
She’s cold and I can't leave her yet
My child, are you hearing me?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Put something in your stomach, try to breathe for me if you can
I can't imagine all the grief you harbour in your head
You told me things hadn’t been the same but that surely you'd make amends
I know you weren't on the best of terms with her back then

[Chorus]
Can it ever be the same
When we're burdened by the weight of empty space?
The timpani roll of a death
Fill the walls of our home like insects
And those wings are fluttering
(No, no, no, no)

[Bridge]
You and me, forced to face eternity while she lay
The eternity past - the eternity that awaits
And I know, I know
You're scared half to death to retire to an empty room
Where there's only the silence
Everything you knew, consumed

[Chorus]
Can it ever be the same
When we're burdened by the weight of empty space?
The timpani roll off undead
Feel the walls of our home like insects
And those wings, they're fluttering

Can it ever be the same
When we’re burdened by the weight of empty space?
The timpani roll of a death
Fill the walls of our home like insects
And those wings are fluttering
