1984 - A Continent Away Lyrics
The nice nest we’ve builtNow that mess it lights it upWhat we’ve done wrongDon’t you feel we’re on the runI don’t know why we try againQuestions/answers always the sameIt’s gotta be doneThis split of our tonguesMy liver is floodedBy alcohol and tearsOh I won’t go homeBefore you get out of meIn the streets of a new townEverything seems a bit moreManageable, above the lossOh the guilt is far from homeBlink at noon, I miss our roomOur mouths are so close and yet our soulsAre a continent awayThere was a nest of oursThere were messes for hoursI regret both are goneOur hugs in the dawnI feel drowned in etherI feel drowned in etherIn salty waves I lieA lovely way to hideIf I sometimes feel my heart sinksI know my heart forgets tooThe more I age, the less I thinkThe less I think, the more I foolMany lives that pierced me throughMany eyes printed tooOn mineThey’ll fade, not yoursBlink at noon, I miss our roomOur mouths are so close and yet our soulsAre a continent awayI know you’ll shiver again but I hold you
