Alpha Shallows Lyrics - I Speak Because I Can - Laura Marling

He could fall and she could weep 

But as holy are her feet and hard with mention 

But dear they may not speak 

We fell tight when there is tension and their eyes could make us weak 

And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become 

And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun 

He could embrace sweet desire as in moments as they pass 

But he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't last 

We walk up Holland avenue 

and watch the rich as they consume 

Their product made our hearts exude emptiness unrivalled by 

The hunger that I could control 

And he'd pray up to his God that he might save his soul

But the grey in this city is too much to bear 

The grey in this city is too much to bear 

And I believe you are meant to be seen but not to be understood 

And I want to be held those eyes 

I want to be held those eyes 

You'll work your thumbs till they're sore 

And you'll work my heart till it's raw 

and you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told 

and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall 

and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall 

We are basic lies 

We are basic lies

It's going to be pretty tough when you leave 

You'll help to take a little part of me 

To make sure you don't treat yourself mean 

And I want to see all that you'll see 

And we are basic lies 

And we are basic lies
