Attempt To Tip The Scales Lyrics - Fevers & Mirrors - Bright Eyes

Did you expect it all to stop 

At the wave of your hand? 

Like the sun's just gonna drop 

If it's night you demand 

Well, in the dark we are just air 

So the house might dissolve 

Once we are gone, who is gonna care 

If we were ever here at all? 

Well, summer is gonna come and it's 

Gonna cloud our eyes again 

There is not need to focus 

When there is nothing that's worth seeing 

So we trade liquor for blood 

And in an attempt to tip the scales 

I think you lost what you 

Loved in that mess of details 

They seemed so important at the time 

Now you can't even recall 

Any names, faces, or lines 

It is more the feeling of it all 

Well, winter is gonna end 

I'm going to clean these veins again 

So close to dying that I finally can start living 

Oh, yeah
