lyrics

They don't want to hear about it
No one is shifting in their sleep
Cause no one cares about it
They've got no secrets to keep
This is for everybody
When the lights are coming down
When the lights are flooding the ground
Just remember to keep your head down

Searching hands on sundried flesh
The salt-filled wounds of the dispossessed
Waving crucifixes like their lives depended on us
If you're seeking voices in your head
The face in the moon will always be there
To stare us down like nothing ever comes to us

So fall in line like flies to shit are drawn
And babies late to mothers are born
And breastfed before the eyes of the judgemental
So hold me up like I was your God
Nothing saves what I just forgot
Do your dreams come from lights in the sky
Did they ever think to ask us why

Just remember to stay on your own ground
When the lights are coming down
When the lights are flooding the ground
Just remember to stay down
So hold me up like I was your God
Cause nothing stays in the air for long
Nothing saves what I just forgot
Stay down keep your head to the ground and stop

Everybody get your heads on the ground
Everybody get your heads on the ground
Everybody get your fucking heads down
Everybody get your heads on the ground

No wait this is not right
Am I wrong or are those lights in the sky
Not supposed to move like fire?
Not supposed to move like fire?
It's not too late to avoid
All the crowds and the noise and the welcome signs
Shoulder your shotguns and fire
Shoulder your shotguns and fire

I've been here before
But it was different before
I've been here before
But it wasn't like this before
I felt like I could be saved
Coming down in so many ways
I knew that I would be saved
Since then I've been counting the days
