Lyrics The War on Drugs

The War on Drugs

Black Water Falls

Now's the time, unpack your case

And put your gold in the safest place

So scared you sweat and run for the hills

While I lay back and cherish my chance to grip

My will

There is a train we take downtown

That buckles and bends from the weight underground

You'll slowly lose faith in gravity

And give up the urge to sway and charm and love

And breathe

I hear to shout, to shout, to shout

I hear to shout, to shout, well you want to remain

My friend

No it's not, it's not quite the same

Remember me when you dissolve in the rain

When the rivers run dry through the cold mountain range

Then you'll turn to the name you invented to keep

Your identity safe from the smell of defeat

And there is no way

To carve your right, just pass a breach

By holding the candle to those half your age

Your job will be locked from hornets and bees

Then you'll understand why I leave, so suddenly

With the breeze
