Boreal Sons - Shake Lyrics
So we drank deep of the sun,How it dripped like nectar on our goblet tongues,And trickled down our icy throatsTo warm us in the hollow of our bonesKeep me blind enough to seeKeep me dumb so I can speakAnd I heard you after darkAs you hummed the muffled chorus of your heart,And I heard your sleeping songAs you etched some ancient script into the lawn.Keep me blind enough to seeKeep me dumb so I can speakDo you hear me when I call?Do you know yourself at all?You’re the hummingbird I caught,The fledgling thing I’ll keep till it flies off,And when your daisy dreams are spentYou’ll wake with clouds of pollen on your breathHow the waking life deceivesHides the truth in all our dreamsDo you hear me when I call?Do you know yourself at all?Domesticated, we fill our eyes with halogenAnd watch projectors spit out copied images.Fleeting shadows flit on cave walls of the mindOur flickering silhouetted cinematic livesWe’re stowaways inside our heads,We’re sleeping animalsWe blink, we speak, we know our namesBut we can’t explain ourselves.We’re runaways on broken legsCrippled automatons,We brace our bones, we splint our steps,But we’re aimless all along.
