Fruit Bats - Silent Life lyrics

rate me

There's a light beyond the the sticks and stones

Past the piles of broken bones

It could melt a frozen heart

If it needs to be so.

It's the place to cut the weeds and wires

And dodge the thorns and quills

It's a place divides

Divide where the river stand still

It is time to weather stormy seas

And suck the venom clear

We could clean the poison veins

And while we are here

We could shake the buzzards off our tails

And keep the snakes at bay

Hear the sirens fade and the thunder rumble away

It's the place tectonic plates will pass each other not to touch

That's the sound of the new silent life

It's the place where all divides divide and the rivers all stand still

That's the sound of the new silent life
