Flight

[Verse 1]

Take what you can hold and then we're getting out of here

Leave the rest behind you have only what you can wear

I know a man he says knows a ship that we can share

Say goodbye tonight the last we have together here

[Chorus]

Broken, we took the wise to the night let them die by the river

Float them, set them alight

Open, we took our time to decide on the souls we would welcome

Close then, begin the fight

Turn them, take them from what you can see turn them into the other

Strip them, in your mind's eye

See them as far away, take the name turn them into a number

Mark them 6359

[Verse 2]

I was watching you over the waves

Life behind the wire in the bay

You were just a shadow on the heat

Hell is other people over me

[Bridge]

And when you hold it back

You lose the colour in the sky

And when you hold it back

We become the mother of a child

And when you hold it back

We lose the hands and eyes

And when you hold it back

We find a place to hide

[Chorus]

Broken, we took the wise to the night let them die by the river

Float them, set them alight

Open, we took our time to decide on the souls we would welcome

Close then, begin the fight

Turn them, take them from what you can see turn them into the other

Strip them, in your mind's eye

See them as far away, take the name turn them into a number

Mark them 6359
