Albatross (CCTV Sessions)

You got an albatross around your neck

Around your neck

You got one hundred broken lightbulbs above your head

They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet

Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb and then you see red

Sunblind

Sunblind

You got an albatross around your neck

Around your neck

You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed

And you got a hungry green eyed monster that you keep fed

And it keeps on coming over it wants you dead

Sunblind

Sunblind

You burnt the lungs

That your ancestors created

You sat by the banks

Of the river and you waited

Till time rolled back

And the water had abated

You drank your share

But you still could not be sated

Quicksands of the mind

And the sinkholes you may find

When you look through

The twisting of the vines

(Twisting of the vines)

Time comes round

The game is itching at your bone

Chill wind comes round

It's blowing through your home

Quicksands of the mind

And the sinkholes you may find

When you look through

The twisting of the vines

You burnt the lungs

That your ancestors created

You sat by the banks

Of the river and you waited

Till time rolled back

And the water had abated

You drank your share

But you still could not be sated

You said you're scared

Of the clocks that keep ticking over

We'll find a way

For a life that's worth living over

Again and again

For a life that's worth living over

Again and again

For a life that's worth living over

Again and again

Again and again and again

Again again

Again and again and again
