[00:02.80]Composed by:Florence Welch、Kid Harpoon
[00:15.85]I used to see the future and now I see nothing
[00:19.57]They cut out my eyes and sent me home packing
[00:23.75]To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration
[00:28.68]Crying like Cassandra I
[00:32.47]Used to tell the future but they cut out my tongue
[00:36.19]And left me doing laundry to thinkin' what I've done
[00:40.29]It wasn't me it was the song
[00:49.77]I used to move into the future bring it all back
[00:54.92]Let it bleed through my fingers a treasure in my hands
[00:59.01]Not be bound
[01:00.98]When there's no one about
[01:03.33]'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
[01:07.81]With gardens of the grove
[01:13.81]And I run in the middle of the road
[01:18.81]Ooh
[01:23.68]Well can you see me
[01:27.47]I cannot see you
[01:31.27]Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
[01:36.28]In this blindness I'm condemned to
[01:39.84]Well can you hear me
[01:43.56]I cannot hear you
[01:47.65]Every song I thought I knew I've been deafened to
[01:52.52]And there's no one left to sing to
[02:04.81]All the gods have been domesticated
[02:09.21]And Heaven is now overrated
[02:13.07]And the churches they all closed their doors
[02:16.72]But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
[02:20.14]I try to still look where they wander on the work
[02:24.24]As the roses bloom
[02:27.73]And the riot plants they play me and you
[02:36.91]Well can you see me
[02:40.47]I cannot see you
[02:44.65]Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
[02:49.43]In this blindness that I'm condemned to
[02:53.08]Well can you hear me
[02:56.87]I cannot hear you
[03:00.82]Every song I thought I knew I've been deafened to
[03:05.68]And there's no one left to sing to
[03:10.65]Ooh
[03:14.52]Ooh
[03:18.39]Ooh oh
[03:22.79]Ooh ooh ooh
[03:27.65]Take me back
[03:28.48]Ooh ooh ooh
[03:30.30]Oh the drunken gods oversee me
[03:34.32]Ooh ooh ooh
[03:35.75]I must be their favourite daughter
[03:41.74]Well can you see me
[03:45.69]I cannot see you
[03:49.79]Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
[03:57.98]And if I run fast and back could I break apart
[04:06.38]As empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart

Lyrics by:Florence Welch、Kid Harpoon
Composed by:Florence Welch、Kid Harpoon
I used to see the future and now I see nothing
They cut out my eyes and sent me home packing
To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration
Crying like Cassandra I
Used to tell the future but they cut out my tongue
And left me doing laundry to thinkin' what I've done
It wasn't me it was the song
I used to move into the future bring it all back
Let it bleed through my fingers a treasure in my hands
Not be bound
When there's no one about
'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
With gardens of the grove
And I run in the middle of the road
Ooh
Well can you see me
I cannot see you
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this blindness I'm condemned to
Well can you hear me
I cannot hear you
Every song I thought I knew I've been deafened to
And there's no one left to sing to
All the gods have been domesticated
And Heaven is now overrated
And the churches they all closed their doors
But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
I try to still look where they wander on the work
As the roses bloom
And the riot plants they play me and you
Well can you see me
I cannot see you
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this blindness that I'm condemned to
Well can you hear me
I cannot hear you
Every song I thought I knew I've been deafened to
And there's no one left to sing to
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh oh
Ooh ooh ooh
Take me back
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh the drunken gods oversee me
Ooh ooh ooh
I must be their favourite daughter
Well can you see me
I cannot see you
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
And if I run fast and back could I break apart
As empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart
