The light is bending early

Around the prodigal

The gunner whispers gently

His shadow on the wall

The crowd is bursting from me

A single animal

It finds its freedom early

They're going to take it all



This independence

We are the metal shell

10,000 bodies

Run from an empty well

All of your lovers

Are heroes in my bed

All night the echoes

Of breathing heads



A falling body near me

A silent angry cry

A miracle of purpose

Looks up into the sky

A camera crew is running

The world is shrinking fast

Tonight you drink your coffee

And watch the world aghast



This independence

We are the metal shell

10,000 bodies

Run from an empty well

All of your lovers

Are heroes in my bed

All night the echoes

Of breathing heads



A camera crew is running

The world is shrinking fast

Tonight you drink your coffee

And watch the world aghast



This independence

We are the metal shell

10,000 bodies

Run from an empty well

All of your lovers

Are heroes in my bed

All night the echoes

Of breathing heads



This independence

We are the metal shell

10,000 bodies

Run from an empty well

All of your lovers

Are heroes in my bed

All night the echoes

Of breathing heads
