Alpha Shallows


Another lyric asked for...

Alpha Shallows

He could fall and shake and weep
By his holy are my feet
And heart with mention the dear that may not speak
We feel tight when there is tension
And our eyes can make us weep

And his heart was full of fire
And the man he had become
And his soul was seldom higher
With the falsities of fun
Could embrace sweet desires in moments as they pass
But he feared ever more. He saw it didn't last

We walk up Holland Avenue
And watch the rich as they consume
That product made our hearts exhume
An emptiness unrivalled by
The Hunger that could control
He'd pray up to his God that he might save their soul.

The grey in this city is too much to bear
The grey in this city is too much to bear
And I believe we are meant to be seen
And not to be understood

And I want to be held by those arms
I want to be held by those arms

You'll work your thumbs 'till they're sore
And you'll work my heart until it's raw
And you'll call, and you'll call, but you'll never be told
And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall

We are basic light, we are basic light.
