lyrics

You’re aware that in the night the shadow is still there
And you're aware that it's the light that makes the shadow appear
And still you go around as though Destruction’s not your name

We are bound to be the keepers of the mutants that we make
We must allow the grim release of the mutant from the cage
And still you go around as though Destruction’s not your name

Holy hell come take me now and show me where to lay
In hills unknown and fill my heart with shame
And I know that's not quite the same—
I know that's not quite the same as an answer

You’re aware of the wreckage in your wake
You will tear at the edges of vindication
And still you go around as though Destruction’s not your name

And you’re aware the shadow is always there

Wolf Parade have always been a great synth band but the new emphasis on the guitars is really working. The production is awesome. daxi
