lyrics

I've seen enough to know that patterns all repeat.
Tessellated turtle doves cry underneath my feet,
But I'm not losing control;
I gotta keep the beat.
Keep on walking.
It ain't raining in the street.

Just stay on the platform.
Don't get on the train.
That shade of blue's no good on you;
It's just the same illusion again.
When you feel hot needles up your spine,
Backtrack, be nimble, leave it behind.
Fly on home;
Find another way.

Raw fingers grip the rope,
Palms burning in the heat.
Twenty horses holding still
Trying to steady my heartbeat.
But I'm not losing control;
I won't admit defeat.
Keep on walking.
Spit out that bitter, Sweet.

Just stay on the platform.
Don't get on the train.
That shade of blue's no good on you;
It's just the same illusion again.
When you feel hot needles up your spine,
Backtrack, be nimble, leave it behind.
Fly on home;
Find another way.

When you feel hot needles up your spine,
Backtrack, be nimble, leave it behind.
Fly on home;
Find another way.

Cuz it all ends the same way.
It all ends the same way.
So don't go & blame no one for the things they couldn't say.
Breathe in the air.
Stop looking way back there
Cuz it all ends the same way.
& that way ain't fair.
It all ends the same way.
& that way ain't fair.
It all ends the same way.
& that way ain't fair.
