The Hiatus – Shell Lyrics

Rock

By way of a ten year wait
At the place where the bomb first fell
Let's meet in no man's state
Carve our names on a rusting shell

The sediment, ash, and bone
Once home to soarin' birds
Now circled by passing drones
We don't have to say a word

On the day it all went wild
Everything we knew turned inside-out
We lost each other in the light
I swore I'd find you again

Let's talk about times of old
When the river still ran to the sea
When dawn spilled ribbons of gold
On the bed you shared with me

On the day it all went wild
Everything we knew turned inside-out
We lost each other in the light
I swore I'd find you again

Oh the fear in your eyes
When you turned to me, yeah
And the bomb blew the skies
Were a burning sea, yeah

When we ran through the town
As it ceased to be, yeah
Til the dust from the cloud
Took my love from me, yeah

When we ran through the town
As it ceased to be, yeah
Til the dust from the cloud
Took my love from me, yeah
