Lyrics

Pala

See a crack in the sky
Catch the sun as it folds
Swim the waves in your eyes
Keeps me rushing
Rushing out to shore

Found a place in the scion
A place we live and you dont
As we float from a wealth that is breathless
No ones frightened anymore

And we couldn't care
If we die here, die here
And we couldn't care
If they flick the switch
And took the rest of this

In Pala
In Pala
In Pala
In Pala

See the flash in the dark
Breathe the rest of your sigh
Hold the rush of a life
Keep me coming
Coming back for more

You feel the lust of a lion
The one who runs at you cold
When you start with a look that's endless
Pits me up against the wall

And we couldn't care
If we die here, die here
And we couldn't care
If they flick the switch
And took the rest of this

In Pala
In Pala
In Pala
In Pala

It's so quiet here
Breathing life up here

(Instrumental break)

In Pala
In Pala
