Super Water Sympathy Anthem lyrics

Shutter lights, the stars
Glitter bones and bitter hearts
Watch the skies turn grey around the streetlights

Silhouettes, the streets
Neon lights and empty seats
With twenty friends, half spent into midnight

So cut me down and count my rings
Leave my roots and wait for spring
Or leave me dry, washed up on the causeway

And from the sky, you've watched me burn
And in my smoke your phrases turn
To hopeful eyes, half fixed on the highway

Watching me, watching you, watching me, sweep my dust out to sea
Watching you, watching me

And ill become the anthem
To the cities you've abandoned
On a royal wash of shorelines
Where the foreign ships have landed
And in my wake you will see
I will make you believe
Oh, I will make you believe in the ghost of me

A vigil sky, the west
White my eyes and black my dress

A pirouette, wind swept on the hillside

You lift my veil to hear me sing
Tie my tongue, the chapel rings
A requiem, sung soft on the inside

Watching me, watching you, watching me, sweep my dust out to sea
Watching you, watching me

And I'll become the anthem
To the cities you've abandoned
On a royal wash of shorelines
Where the foreign ships have landed
And in my wake you will see
I will make you believe
Oh, I will make you believe in the ghost of me

Ohhhhh ohhh ohhhh

And I'll become the anthem
To the cities you've abandoned
On a royal wash of shorelines
Where the foreign ships have landed
And in my wake you will see
I will make you believe
Oh, I will make you believe in the ghost of me
