Lyrics

The Shroud
words and music by Benji Barton

Running for the platform at the station
Just running from ourselves
Looking back the brilliant eyes you gave me
You looked on no one else
Like a screenplay I was someone else but I traded myself in again.

Let's redesign a shroud, disguise your silly accent
So that when they come for us, right through thier fingertips
We'll slide away together. Even when they come for us.

So tonight we'll hide in the pollution.
The moment's closing in
Still, you know the urgency it's turning
It's underneath my skin.
But I tried all the ways to rearrange my head
It just made me sick instead, and said

Let's redesign a shroud, disguise your silly accent
So that when they come for us, right through thier fingertips
We'll slide away together. Even when they come for us.
