Collateral - Intellectual

[Chorus]

Tell me why we don't run for cover?

One leg in front of the other

Leave the cast behind with all your weight to drift on under

We can still hold the embers

Even if they never settle

Palm to palm, we'll save the rest, but you and I

We're just collateral

Swallow all my blood to be beside you

Feel my own hands always reaching up

For limbs that never soothe, oh-oh, oh

Go and blink the shards all off your face

Let them tumblе away till your eyes look up

So, you can see me hеad above the rust

I'm breathing out your fumes

There's nothing to lose

Tell me why we don't run for cover?

One leg in front of the other

Leave the cast behind with all your weight to drift on under

We can still hold the embers

Even if they never settle

Palm to palm, we'll save the rest, but you and I

We're just collateral

We're just collateral

Knees are on the floor, they broke apart too soon

From under all the shadows, pulling me in the dust

I'll blink before you do

Well, I know you never wanted every line you drew

But, the pages that they marked were never ours to choose

We're inescapable, a feather to your plume

You need to take the leap before we shaken loose

Tell me why we don't run for cover?

One leg in front of the other

Leave the cast behind with all your weight to drift on under

We can still hold the embers

Even if they never settle

Palm to palm, we'll save the rest, but you and I

We're just collateral

We're just collateral
