Interbellum - First Light Lyrics

Thunder crashes in the sky
Dailies flash across my eyes
Past and plans and awful things
Loose ends like lanterns flickering

I think the snowdrops are in bloom
But there are no windows in this room

And I can't tell the time or anything
Turn off the lights but the shadows cling
I shake and burn up cold, cold sweat
I light another cigarette

And take shallow asthmatic puffs
The anaesthetic's wearing off
As first light seeps through the gaps
Here's sleep

I take shallow asthmatic puffs
The anaesthetic's wearing off
And first light seeps through the gaps
