Caravels - Iceland lyrics

City in rust, along the bottom edge Time creeps slow When you spend it all counting down City in mud, softened to readjust Make big change When you live your life day to day Don't think much of what i've loved You're to blame For all that i will and won't become I'm a victim of the repercussions Of this place We're all that's been built and been torn down What tremendous weight you have Burdening your every move Spread out miles and miles Over streets and new concrete How your shoulders must be sore And your patience must be tried I bet you can feel the weight On every new face you meet All the sights to see All the gifts to reap Seems too good to be true All the bets to place All the time to waste Seems too good to be true It's just a matter of time Before you notice it's all Smoke and mirrors The secret's out All the fortunate Are the obstinate They get away As fast as they can I'm seeing the best of you (all i've ever known) When i'm glancing at a map (is time away from home) All the regrets and fears don't want to leave Mistaking you for who i'd like to be Find yourself alive without a soul Losing track without a home I'm washing myself clean I'm digging myself deep Into a hole i don't want to be I'm washing myself clean I'm digging myself deep Into a hole i don't want to be Don't want to see
