Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The tipping of scales
And the balance of time
Precede it
[Verse 2]
The ticking of clocks
In silent homes
Admit it
[Verse 3]
Larks ascending
Clash with planes
[Verse 4]
O my soul
What will I do to feed them?
Nothing inside, nothing outside
Nothing in the kitchen
What I'm left with I don't know
[Verse 5]
Spend all your life just to find out
All that matters is close to you
The people you know
The things that you're shown
That shape our views
The places you've been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue
[Verse 6]
And in a small side street
Of contemplation
He lost it
[Verse 7]
And in the late-night bars
Of annihilation
He lost it
[Verse 8]
The truth is that "it"
Wasn't his to lose
[Verse 9]
Spend all your life just to find out
All that matters is close to you
The people you know
The things that you're shown
That shape our views
The places you've been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue
[Verse 10]
The people you know
The things that you're shown
That shape our views
The places you've been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue
