While the Flies - The Joy Formidable

They took you running, you thought they made you feel safe

I watched it all I’ll never be the same again

All this all we seem the same

They left you falling and no one remembers your name

And now they’re gone and the flies they record you die

All this all we seem the same

Dear Khalil, I tried to pull you away

I can’t forget that these arms they tried in vain

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I fall apart but it ever beckons

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I fall apart but it ever beckons

I’ll take to throwing all the pennies I stole

I’ll throw them well and get a wish now it’s time for all

For pinching thumbs to help revive me

These pinching thumbs will lift you from the enemy

And when the dust settles and we raise once more

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I fall apart but it ever beckons

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I’ll take you with me as I’m falling inside

I fall apart but it ever beckons

There’s a shape in the spotlight

It’s a three part haunting

That lets the drips in your eyes turn to walls and the

The frost dries in the heat of that sad face of yours

(It will spill my goodbye)?

(It will spill when you can lie down)?

(It's fallen apart baby)?

It will spill my goodbye)?

(It will spill when you can lie down)?

(The sun is … down)?

Dear Khalil, I tried to pull you away

Another one and the flies they record you die
