"Writing On The Wall" lyrics
"Writing On The Wall"
I shared a secret
One that you could never keep
And how you just breathe it
To everyone that you ever meet
And when I heard it
Second hand, so to speak
I saw that I was someone else
And you became just someone else
And all of the stories
How they just flow right out of your mouth
Now all of their glory
Was not enough to go around
If they're all hungry
Yeah, they're only mouths to feed
And you can all say no
No, I could never say no
But now the writing's on our walls
As the curtains take their call
And we slip through the seams, through the in-between
Of a truth and a lie, of a god and a sky
Of a widow and bride, of you and I
So bury your weakness
And chew the marrow from the bone
Keep yourself a secret
From all of those who've always known
It's been revealing
Ignore your skin as it peels away
It's been revealing
What you could never begin to explain
There's the writing on our walls
As the curtains take their call
And we slip through the seams, through the in-between
Of a truth and a lie, of a god and a sky
Of a widow and bride, of you and I
I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again

Towards the curling colder ocean
Hovered like haze on the water

Manchester Orchestra - "The Maze" I notice you when you're noticing me
Breaking the habit, you're watching me sleep
Give me some time let me learn how to speak

Riley Pearce - "On Melancholy Hill" Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day of another dream
Well, you can't get what you want but you can get me
So let's set out to sea
Oh, you...
Ben Howard - "Gracious" How would you know?
When everything around you's changing like the weather
A big black storm
And who would you turn to?
Had I a ghost
A shadow at the most
Would you let me know?
'Cause I don't want...
Shearwater - "You As You Were" When you fell on the rocks
At a bend in the river
With the blood from your nose
Running hard on your fingers
And through the rest of your life
The electric charge
Of a change in the weather
