Albatross letra

You got an albatross around your neck
Around your neck
You got one hundred broken lightbulbs above your head
They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet
'Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb and then you see red

Sunblind
Sunblind

You got an albatross around your neck
Around your neck
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed
And you got a hungry green eyed monster that you keep fed
And it keeps on coming over it wants you dead

Sunblind
Sunblind

You burnt the lungs
That your ancestors created
You sat by the banks
Of the river and you waited

Till time rolled back
And the water had abated
You drank your share
But you still could not be sated

Quicksands of the mind
And the sinkholes you may find
When you look through
The twisting of the vines

Time comes round
The game is itching at your bone
Chill wind comes round
It's blowing through your home

Quicksands of the mind
And the sinkholes you may find
When you look through
The twisting of the vines

You burnt the lungs
That your ancestors created
You sat by the banks
Of the river and you waited

Till time rolled back
And the water had abated
You drank your share
But you still could not be sated

You said you're scared
Of the clocks that keep ticking over
We'll find a way

For a life that's worth living over
Again and again
For a life that's worth living over
Again and again
