Peace & Quiet

[Verse 1]
After the red ants, the black-out, come peace and quiet
Those little footprints fleshed out calm in my mind
I lay like a compass, digits accusing the sunrise
Raindrops abseil the window and flinch through the hurt cries

[Chorus]
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy

[Verse 2]
After the hunt and the sweat, now come peace and quiet
Your head on my heart anchored the storm in my eyes
I lay like a carcass, your lips never letting the blood dry
And so I pray for tomorrow and wait, listening out for a reply

[Chorus]
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy

I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy
