Above / Below

Birds of Tokyo

We still followed every order
Swallowed the bleach, and left our skins to rust
We've fallen asleep with the wolves
So many dead, while the village was burning we all slept
How did we not keep check?

Maybe we took it too far, every word, every scar
So above, so below

Suffer the weight, suffocate under the cause
(Under the cause)
It starves you of everything
Surrender your will to the man in the clouds
He's not who you think he is
Follow your heart if you dare
Follow it down out of the light where there's no-one else
And you can lose yourself

Maybe we took it too far, every word, every scar
So above, so below
So below
So above, so below

We put all this space between us
We had several years of luck
We were lions with the cattle
We put diamonds in the rough
We were so lost in the battle
We were chasing after ghosts
We were so close to believing
There was something more than us

When fear drags you down and under
Oh and the dark, holds you deep enough
Give me your hand if you dare
Give me your hand and I'll be dilligent with it, you might slip
And you will lose yourself

Maybe we took it too far, every word, every scar
So above, so below
So below
So above, so below

We put all this space between us
We had several years of luck
We were lions with the cattle
We put diamonds in the rough
We were so lost in the battle
We were chasing after ghosts
We were so close to believing
There was something more than us
(So above, so below)
