When the levees broken
Best learn how to swim
If you wanna gamble
Better know you’ll win
Eden burns
Through the night
I see past the firelight
In the air
Recognize
You can’t stop the firelight
Withered scenes divided
Arguments unwon
Little things won’t get you
Drop your heart and run
Eden burns
Through the night
I see past the firelight
In the air
Recognize
You can’t stop the firelight - Track Name: Stay Inside
-
Well if you’re going nowhere
And you need to get there fast
I know a shortcut nobody’s tried
And if you’ve run on empty
Since the day you left
Don’t be afraid to give it all back
The new sun attacks
It’s too nice to stay inside today
Won’t you come in closer
So I can make you out?
Don’t hide in a corner where nobody sees
The rows and rows of houses
Mirror side by side
But nothing can warn them of days left to come
Beneath the new sun
It’s too nice to stay inside today
Somewhere on the mainline
The tracks were laid out wrong
The streets are filled with curses dressing as dreams
Sink into the sunset
Watch it all unfold
Hear all the engines rattle apart
And if you were smart
You wouldn’t even start
It's too late to be outside
