We Were We Still Are (feat. Kae Tempest)

Heads down, swallow the screen and feel images Imprint themselves. Big world, little villagers. Living the dream, dreaming of waking Who isn't afraid of things changing? And when it comes down to the day out, the day in The same thing, the blood rush, head racing Pacing the floors of the precinct, waiting for more But no way to believe in the cause Cos the cause fell asleep in the doorway Raw as a portrait etched on your forehead that says Life's not a test, life's a forfeit, pause it Catch your breath, feeling nauseous Re-route the circuit Uproot the booged down Change is afoot, and the circus is in town Can't hold it down anymore, it's happening That's why it feels like it's all unravelling That's why it feels like it's all unravelling There was, there still is We were, we will be Hello disorientation my old friend Welcome to the days of distortion Complex parades of illusion, charades, on course for destruction Yawn for the horseman An end is an end until it's a beginning. Winning We built this city on what we stole, and then it ate us whole We built this city on what we stole What if everything was to arrive at the moment when everything is Blown apart by the pressure of a lonely heart We took a false start as our only chance Well, history's perpetual dance is resilience - Heads down, swallow the screen and no sympathies Love doesn't end when it finishes Love doesn't end when it finishes There was, there still is We were, we will be We were, we still are You are, you will be
