We Are The Emergency - Hello, My Name Is Distance

Drop all these words, they fall on deaf ears Drop all these words All the times you've felt the ground decay And wished the earth would take you too To keep a world inside your head Know that there's a line a mile long Who'd gladly take the plunge with you We'll mark an "x" on the horizon And watch what dreams we have Come true So pick a spot in the distance And put all this behind you, Don't look back at the past, It will catch up And it will drown you No more afraid, when the whole world is sinking, You're finally ready to swim Fragile is the sense of disbelief I find in you If you can pull the weakest string, The tightest threads can come undone Unravelled in my thoughts, where you can't see Pulled apart now before me, And I can't seem to find the end So pick a spot in the distance And put all this behind you, Don't look back at the past, It will catch up And it will drown you No more afraid, when the whole world is sinking, You're finally ready to swim I'm watching that place now, in the corner of your mouth, Where a smile slowly creeps, but you won't let it out Your eyes... It hides in your eyes It hides in your eyes, Knowing what they have seen In the way that they shine, Reflecting all that has been It hides in your eyes
