The Defeat

Ben Howard

    Continues after the ad

    There is no rush when you don't belong
    Turns out we don't all fight like dogs in the end
    Most of us want to roll out, roll under the grass
    You are limbless, cartoon, no bridge in your song

    Spirulina won't cure my heartbreak
    I was a dreamer when I learned to take
    In between her and a fireplace
    There are factors that conditioned me something in the canopy
    Clearly

    And the blank ones cartwheel out of the furnace
    The mould never cracked, you see
    The girls in St Denis
    Still sleep on their backs
    Understood a fact
    When you spoke in all your marvelous ideologies
    The world is always at ease, at ease, at ease
    Don't you see?

    Continues after the ad

    And the deaths on the highways
    From drinking at casinos
    Feel so natural
    Every day a dice roll, every way you gamble
    Where is something I can handle?
    And the world void of Petrov, our savior
    We are taught to savor everyone else's failures
    Endlessly

    Even the greatest, the very very greatest
    Gave up, tapped out
    Told all you fuckers to lie down
    Yet still you found cathedrals of dissent
    Where does the robber go
    Where does the robber go to repent?
    Tell me

    Till there you were, you wouldn't buy a round
    For your best friend
    See it's trickled down
    On you I don't depend
    There you go then, bye
    Another end, bye
    Infinitum, bye
    There you go then, bye
    With such a heavy sound

    There is no rush when you don't belong
    Turns out we don't all fight like dogs in the end
    Most of us want to roll out, roll under the grass
    You are limbless, cartoon, no bridge in your song
    Make me wonder again
    Or make me learn to pretend
    Make me wonder again
    Or make me learn to pretend
    Make me wonder again
    Or make me learn to pretend
