Efterklang Modern Drift lyrics

I can keep my head inside
when the modern drift is all I have.

You can pull my head aside
but the modern drift is all I have.

When the moment dies
and I come to you
with a broken lie
that I made for you.

If I wait to see you
with the living ghosts
will they catch your sight
or the back of you?

I can keep my head inside
when the modern drift is all I have.

You can pull my head aside
but the modern drift is all I have.


We appear so strong
but we're all afraid.
They will play your hands
like a puppeteer.

And the dreams aren't true
but we know it—we know that too—
that the angel said to the hollow death:

"I can keep my head inside
when the modern drift is all I have.

"You can pull my head aside
but the modern drift is all I have.

"It's all I have".
