Like a Pearl Songtext
This is every step I shuffle but couldn′t really take
This is every rock you wouldn't lift, you knew you′d find a snake
There's a branch heavy over my head, I wish the ice would break
But every new calamity is just a cheap scene for the inevitable great escape
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Yeah
There's a black heart to this world
This is every drop of blood in a war you sold for cash
This is every awkward teenage boy never coming back
There′s a sword hanging over your head, don′t fall it back
Optimism is a shiny thing, and we're easy to distract
This is every hopeful plan we knew would fall apart
This is every secret lever to the trap door in your heart
There′s a path under centuries of scum where shines the light
But as we shuffle through our days who has the energy to fight?
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Yeah
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Oh yeah yeah yeah
There's a black heart to this world
Oh yeah yeah yeah
There′s a black heart to this world
Oh yeah yeah yeah
There's a black heart to this world
This is every rock you wouldn't lift, you knew you′d find a snake
There's a branch heavy over my head, I wish the ice would break
But every new calamity is just a cheap scene for the inevitable great escape
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Yeah
There's a black heart to this world
This is every drop of blood in a war you sold for cash
This is every awkward teenage boy never coming back
There′s a sword hanging over your head, don′t fall it back
Optimism is a shiny thing, and we're easy to distract
This is every hopeful plan we knew would fall apart
This is every secret lever to the trap door in your heart
There′s a path under centuries of scum where shines the light
But as we shuffle through our days who has the energy to fight?
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Yeah
Feel its culture like a pearl
In the black heart of this world
Oh yeah yeah yeah
There's a black heart to this world
Oh yeah yeah yeah
There′s a black heart to this world
Oh yeah yeah yeah
There's a black heart to this world
