Florence + The Machine

A thousand miles down to the sea bed, I found the place to rest my head.

Though, the pressure's hard to take, It's the only way I can escape.

Well I didn't tell anyone, But a bird flew by. Saw what I'd done. He set up a nest outside, And he sang about what I'd become. He sang so loud, Sang so clear. I was afraid all the…

I picked up the bird and above the din I said "That's the last song you'll ever sing". Held him down, broke his neck, Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

I opened my mouth to scream and shout, I waved my arms and flapped about. But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout, couldn't scream and I couldn't shout.

I run to the river and dive straight in I pray that the water will drown out the din But as the water fills my mouth It couldn't wash the echoes out But as the water fills my mout…

Old friends have said, the books I've read Say it's the thing to do But it's hard to see it when you're in it Cause I went blind for you.

And I was thrashing on the line Somewhere between Desperate and divine I can't keep calm, I can't keep still Persephone will have her fill.

I've fallen out of favour And I've fallen from grace Fallen out of trees And I've fallen on my face Fallen out of taxis Out of windows too Fell in your opinion When I fell in love…
