Cloud Shelf (Variation)
Drift
A continent of weather moving closer. Tremolo guitars and orchestral strings build from horizon to horizon until you can't tell where you end and the storm begins. Don't look away.
Lyrics
The sky is wrong in every direction
Horizon line dissolving into weight
A continent of weather moving closer
The air has turned the colour of a bruise
The pressure drops
Your body knows before your eyes
Something coming that you can't outrun
Something wider than the ground you're on
Don't look away, don't look away
You were always meant to stand in this
The trees have turned their silver undersides
The birds went quiet half an hour ago
The first cold gust arrives like a messenger
Saying everything is about to change
The pressure drops
Your skin already knows the weight
Something coming that you can't outrun
Something wider than the ground you're on
Don't look away, don't look away
You were always meant to stand in this
When the wall arrives
You won't know where you end
And where the weather begins
That's the point
That's the point
