Lyrics How To Replace It - dEUS

Did you ever get to think about
How to replace it?
Now the night turns in
Into a poker tell

And the day runs dry
Where once was a well
An enormous chill
That you need to quell

Hear the fisherman's cough
And the seagulls cry
How they call your bluff
When you touch the sky
Do you ever feel (after setting sail)
What looks far away
Doesn't get any closer by

We don't know enough of what we have until it's gone
They say it's heaven over there until the devil has another say
You pray
As if time will ever tell

Politics and sympathies, 200 different kinds of glee
I wonder what the world would be
When everybody's in the sea
I wait
As if time will ever tell

Let the preachers whine
They haven't got a clue
When the signal dies
What do I really lose

There are many ways
How to replace
These tired lines
Of these modern blues

So the summer creaks
When the daughter speaks
It is in our gift to plug up the leaks?
Do you ever think
As if time will ever tell?

Garbage in the mail today, I'll send them on a holiday
Someone should tell them they should stay
Around the clock, eternity
We'll see as if time will ever tell

Suspicion is the lightning rod
Believe in you, believe in God
I tried it out, I liked it not
I love your feet, they make me hot
We wait as if time will ever tell

We are careful
We're not running to the hills
Our feathers will be sticking to our skin
What are we in for?

When the night comes, we won't falter
We had years of light and we get smaller
We will win
What are we in for

Was it good for you?
'Cause I can hardly speak
When the flesh is strong
Then the mind is weak
Still we soldier on
We turn up the noise
So we don't hear the gong
Of our losing streak

Do you ever think about how to replace it?
How the night turns in into a fire hose
For you to get your daily dose
You stand naked as the cold wind blows

Leave no traces, abandon everything
Don't replace it, you won't miss a thing
And feel
As if time will ever tell

Tracks are covered when you're looking back
Names and lovers lost under the stack
It seems
Now it's time to break the spell

Now break it up

Now break it up

As if time will ever tell
