The Raid Lyrics by Wafia

XXIX

2015

[Written by Wafia]
[Produced by Thrupence & Wafia]

[Verse 1]
We live in oceans
We sleep on floors
Resting our eyes, resting our eyes
'Til we feel no more
Homeward bound
To fill these empty walls
Screaming out
We could do better, we could do better

[Chorus]
This golden coat
Flew out of sight
Out of your hands and into mine
We held our breaths
'Til the lights went out
Curling our lips 'til we intertwined
Curling our lips 'til we intertwined

[Verse 2]
We raid on land
We feast on strong
Wasting away, wasting away
We do all that is wrong

All the bodies
Laying in the dust
Screaming loud
We could do better, we could do better

[Chorus]
This golden coat
Flew out of sight
Out of your hands and into mine
We held our breaths
'Til the light went out
Curling our lips 'til we intertwined
