We Are The Emergency - Hello, My Name Is Distance

Hello, My Name Is Distance

Drop all these words, they fall on deaf ears
Drop all these words

All the times you've felt the ground decay
And wished the earth would take you too
To keep a world inside your head
Know that there's a line a mile long
Who'd gladly take the plunge with you
We'll mark an "x" on the horizon
And watch what dreams we have
Come true

So pick a spot in the distance
And put all this behind you,
Don't look back at the past,
It will catch up
And it will drown you
No more afraid, when the whole world is sinking,
You're finally ready to swim

Fragile is the sense of disbelief I find in you
If you can pull the weakest string,
The tightest threads can come undone
Unravelled in my thoughts, where you can't see
Pulled apart now before me,
And I can't seem to find the end

So pick a spot in the distance
And put all this behind you,
Don't look back at the past,
It will catch up
And it will drown you
No more afraid, when the whole world is sinking,
You're finally ready to swim

I'm watching that place now, in the corner of your mouth,
Where a smile slowly creeps, but you won't let it out

Your eyes...
It hides in your eyes

It hides in your eyes,
Knowing what they have seen
In the way that they shine,
Reflecting all that has been

It hides in your eyes
