Periphery - The Way The News Goes

Wake up

As I stumble into a blinding light

Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs

Take one good look and I’m at the lowest low again

Down at the bottom, but I’m fine

Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum

It’s not your average fucking misery

This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun

Hit strings in dissonance 

Pick on and on 

Show them how to fly away when this world is torn

If you feel like dying, lose that forever

You’re shining and it shows

Living through the highest highs

You’re shining and it shows

Down at the bottom, but I’m fine

I try to feed it, but it still wants more

Give me that feeling that I’m looking for

Show them how to fly away when this world is torn

If you feel like dying, lose that forever

You’re shining and it shows

Wake up

As I stumble into a blinding light

Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs

Take one good look and I’m at the lowest low again

Down at the bottom, but I’m fine

At the bottom, but it’s all so wrong

Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum

It’s not your average fucking misery

This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun

So long to sanity

For now that’s how it goes
