We Sleep In Pairs - Everything Everything

Each night I lay beneath the Earth

I am tired of feeling powerless

With no edge and no reflected light

There is something in the way of us

Don’t cry now, all the wheels will turn

There’ll be bluebirds over you and I

With black brains, they’ll come to save our lives

As our flesh becomes electrified

We sleep in pairs, just waiting

Can you take me away?

Can you stop with the lies?

Are you desperate?

Yes, I think I’m desperate

What’s my best bet?

On your deathbed?

Yes, I’m on my last legs, then you’re desperate

Blaze on me, bird of paradise

Don’t be fearful, don’t you close your eyes

Oh, sister, keep the hope alive

We can run before they realise

I’m asking you to heal me

Can you take me away?

Can you stop with the lies?

Are you desperate?

Yes, I think I’m desperate

What’s my best bet?

On your deathbed?

Yes, I’m on my last legs, then you’re desperate

Can you take me away?

Can you stop with the lies?
