Modern Drift

Efterklang

I can keep my head in sight
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

will I let you see you're not
with the living ghosts?
Will they catch your sight
or the back of you?

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

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

We could be 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 tune
that the angel sang to the hollow death:

"I can keep my head in sight
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"
