Alpha Shallows

He could fall and shake and weep

By his holy are my feet

And heart with mention the dear that may not speak

We feel tight when there is tension

And our eyes could make us weep



And his heart was full of fire

At the man he had become

And his soul was seldom higher

With the falsities of fun

Could embrace sweet desires in moments as they pass

But he feared ever more, he saw it didn't last



We walk up Holland Avenue

And watch the rich as they consume

That product made our hearts exude

An emptiness unrivalled by

The hunger that I could control

He'd pray up to his gods that he might save their soul



The grey in this city is too much to bear

The grey in this city is too much to bear

And I believe we are meant to be seen

And not to be understood



And I want to be held those arms

I want to be held those arms



You'll work your thumbs till they're sore

And you'll work my heart unti it's raw

And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told

And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall

And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall



We are basic light

We are basic light
