We're Still Here

lyrics

5 years ago in may
we took the train
into the storm

the sand that burned our toes
feels sorer the more it grows
the sharp betrayal, the thorn in your side
the let down and the porcupine


left lonely and forgotten
the trampled and the trodden
we’re still here

the man who told them no
began to overthrow
the big old house, the journey home
the endless falling , my broken bones


and after all the shouting
the foothills and the mountains
the trees that withered slowly
you say you just adore me
i’m counting on you, counting
I’m counting on you

the incandescent silence
that shone from both your eyelids
the fire in the distance
the depth of your persistence
i’m counting on you, counting
I’m counting on you


our legs are old and worn
but still we journey on
you said, salvation lies
behind the wool over your eyes

you’d think by know you’d know
that if we are to grow
we’d take our time, we’d make a fuss
we’d throw ourselves under the bus


and after all the shouting
the foothills and the mountains
the trees that withered slowly
you say you just adore me
i’m counting on you, counting
I’m counting on you

the incandescent silence
that shone from both your eyelids
the fire in the distance
the depth of your persistence
i’m counting on you, counting
I’m counting on you
