Future Islands - Virgo Distracts Lyrics

Future Islands Lyrics

"Virgo Distracts"

Virgo distracts your lilting sleep
And buries truth
Where you call home

Why reach for the sky?
It's only your fear
I know you're alive
You take what you require
Take what you require

The linen stains as the shadow wain
This restless nest and what was made
As the day I came was the day you moved away
And found a place
That you call home

Why reach for the sky?
It's only your fear
I know you're alive
You take what you require
Take what you require

So now I know
Each loss is mine
From this day, this I morn
And we're as broken as to peace
And searching for way to burn instead

What you call home
What you call home
Would you call home?
Would you call home?
What you call home
What you call home
