Alpha shallows - live from york minster

He could fall and she can weep but as holy are my feet

And hard with mention but dear, they may not speak

We fell tight when there is tension

And our eyes could make us weak

And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become

And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun

He could embrace sweet desire as in moments as they pass

But he feared it evermore, he saw it didn't last

We walk up Holland Avenue and watch the rich as they consume

Their product made our hearts exude, emptiness unrivaled

By the hunger that I could control and he'd pray up to his God

That he might save his soul

But the gray in this city is too much to bear

The gray in this city is too much to bear

And I believe you are meant to be seen

But not to be understood

And I want to be held by those eyes

I want to be held by those eyes

You'll work your thumbs till they're sore

And you'll work my heart till it's raw

And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told

And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall

We are basic lies
