Shortly - The Lightness Lyrics

So what if the world is on fire
We will know nothing of it
We'll be crawling like cockroaches
Through the liquor and nicotine kisses
I am the back of your hand, you are nothing
Read me your tarot cards
Greet me with ambulances
And flowers
Hold onto what's comfortably mine
My head's always reeling with guilt
Think, maybe I could leave it all
And rid the clean world of our filth
But I am the lightness, so I will not go
I am the lightness
And I do like the sound of your voice and the tone of your vowels Tell me what happens next if we live in denial
Our love was a trick of the light, and like pressing flowers It's easy to romanticize
I saw you, I saw light, I saw heaven
I saw you, I saw light, I saw heaven
So what if the world is on fire
We will know nothing of it
I am the back of your hand, you are nothing
You are nothing

So what if the world is on fire
We will know nothing of it
We'll be crawling like cockroaches
Through the liquor and nicotine kisses
I am the back of your hand, you are nothing
Read me your tarot cards
Greet me with ambulances
And flowers
Hold onto what's comfortably mine
My head's always reeling with guilt
Think, maybe I could leave it all
And rid the clean world of our filth
But I am the lightness, so I will not go
I am the lightness
And I do like the sound of your voice and the tone of your vowels Tell me what happens next if we live in denial
Our love was a trick of the light, and like pressing flowers It's easy to romanticize
I saw you, I saw light, I saw heaven
I saw you, I saw light, I saw heaven
So what if the world is on fire
We will know nothing of it
I am the back of your hand, you are nothing
You are nothing
