Modern Drift

I can keep my head in sight

when the modern drift is all I have.

You can pull my head aside,

but the modern drift is all I have.

When the moment dies

and I come to you

with a broken lie

that I made for you

will I let you see you're not

with the living ghosts?

Will they catch your sight

or the back of you?

I can keep my head in sight

when the modern drift is all I have.

You can pull my head aside,

but the modern drift is all I have.

We could be so strong

but we're all afraid.

They will play your hands

like a puppeteer.

And the dreams aren't true

but we know it—we know that tune

that the angel sang to the hollow death:

"I can keep my head in sight

when the modern drift is all I have.

"You can pull my head aside,

but the modern drift is all I have.

"It's all I have"
