Broad-Shouldered Beasts lyrics

[Verse 1]

Broad-shouldered beasts fill the sky

Manhattan beats at the night

But you are wrapped up in wire

Curled up in fright

So I took you to the city for the night

To dance under dizzy silver lights

But for a moment, you were wild

With abandon like a child, just a moment

[Pre-Chorus]

But wasn't it you who said I was not free

And wasn't it you who said I needed peace

And now it's you who's floored by fear of it all

[Chorus]

But it's alright

Take it out on me

But it's alright

Take it out on me

[Verse 2]

These apartment walls are paper thin

And no one is trying to listen in

What to hear our doubts

Hear our whispered shouts, they don't care

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

But when you feel the world wrapping round your neck

Feel my hand round yours

And when you feel the world wrapping round your neck

Don't succumb

[Chorus]
