Gentle Face - The Magic Lantern

Gentle face

How I need you when I make mistakes

You put things in their rightful place

So we can go to sleep

And i’ll put the mountains back together at your feet

Piece by piece up until to the snowy peaks

While all the world sweats concrete

Tender one

I had a dream where all I did was run

And they knew what I had done

Please help me go to sleep

I pulled the plug and let the oceans drain away

We can cross them again some rainy day

When all our fears our hearts betray

We might as well

We might as well

Start over again

Silver tongue

Whisper words from all the songs we’ve sung

You know what we could become

So sing me back to sleep

And we’ve swapped the sky for a glowing tiny screen

Head down walking, trapped in the machine babe

So say farewell to the Holocene

We might as well

We might as well

Start over again
