Avalanche lyrics
by Another Sky
Desperation on every street corner
Let the blues through, they’ll restore order
They are not bad men
They’re in schools, they’re your boyfriends
A man shot dead while the world slept
The killer free, the police said
“a spider lived under my bed
And I was scared, I broke its legs”
These days have no up or down
What the f*ck keeps us hanging around?
In the barracks, behind the keyboards
We are the bird-song, we are the seabed
Back in the trees, saying words wrong
The bailiffs climb and find us
Holding water in our hands
A nurse was thrown into their van
“an avalanche fell from your roof
You let it drown and bury you”
When you hold them to account
They’ll spit you out
Just a bad taste in their mouth(x2)
