The Dodos - Substance lyrics

rate me

Substance, out of reach

And take it with it, its island

We had hoped to put it out first

And yet it’s all that we are left with

Words we never said

Do we really mean them

Someone give them to me now

Words that I can say

But you never hear them

Someone’s standing by the door

The common man wouldn’t give up his throne

The common man wouldn’t give up his throne

You’re changing the dark and you don’t even know it

It’s mine to discard, too ashamed to deserve it

And you will forget and I will remember

And everything changes, you don’t know I exist

Words we never said

Do we really mean them

Someone give them to me now

Words that I can say

But you never hear them

Someone’s standing by the door

The common man wouldn’t give up his throne

The common man wouldn’t give up his throne

And you will forget and I will remember

And you will forget and I will remember

And you will forget and I will remember

And you will forget and I will remember
