Everything Everything - Duet (Alternative Version) lyrics

[Verse 1] Do you feel left behind? Like there's something not right? I don't think I've been connected But of all the dead volcanoes on Earth You just happened to retch and roll through mine There were fistfuls of hair 'Round the foot of my chair And acres of screens before me But breathing out, I swear you were real [Pre-Chorus] You were there You were there You were there For a while [Chorus] But I don't know what's real and what's going on And I don't wanna be here when the sky is gone (I just can't keep up with it and) I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired (Nothing's good, there's something more) I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired [Verse 2] It was said with a wink It was slipped in my drink A Necropolis for the taking Where all the cities flow into one And there's nothing but knives and fears and forks Seems the more I find out The more unsure I become And baby, I get the feeling There's something dark, unknowable yet [Pre-Chorus] And it's here (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothing) And it's here (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothing) And it's here (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothing) For a while (I-I, I-I) [Chorus] But I don't know what's real and what's going on And I don't wanna be here when the sky is gone (I just can't keep up with it and) I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired (Nothing's good, there's something more) I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired [Bridge] But I can hear them plundering the streets at night You never should have told them what you had inside And I don't want my children in an endless race And I don't wanna wait to see what else they take (Sulphur howling over you and) And all that matters now is that we don't let go (Black caldera ash and falling) And you can be my wonder in my time of woe (Tarred and feathered genii oh!) If it's gonna happen, let it happen now (Acid in the tears alone) If it's gonna happen, let it happen now
