The Way The News Goes... Lyrics - Periphery

Wake up 

As I stumble into a blinding light 

Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs 

Take one good look and I'm at the lowest low again 

Down at the bottom, but I'm fine 

Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum 

It's not your average fucking misery 

This heart as chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun 

Hit strings in dissonance 

Pick on, and on, and on 

Show them how to fly away when this world is torn 

If you feel like dying, lose that forever 

You're shining and it shows 

Living through the highest highs 

You're shining and it shows 

Down at the bottom, but I'm fine 

I try to feed it, but it still wants more 

Give me that feeling that I'm looking for 

Show them how to fly away when this world is torn 

If you feel like dying, lose that forever 

You're shining and it shows 

Wake up 

As I stumble into a blinding light 

Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs 

Take one good look and I'm at the lowest low again 

Down at the bottom, but I'm fine 

At the bottom, but it's all so wrong 

Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum 

It's not your average fucking misery 

This heart as chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun 

So long to sanity 

For now that's how it goes
