Duress Lyrics - Singles - Cultfever

In a basement room I always came through 

Was the brighter bulb stooge on a stage for two. 

For all our tricks, I promise you this 

I will put it in a song for you. 

Now the space we dreamed stays so vivid to me 

Like a night-time scene from a smaller green. 

How could I explain to anyone new that a place that moved meant everything? 

And its not so much that were under great duress 

Was just in the nature of things, I guess. 

Lifes been slowly gathering 

And time feels slow -- know you know what I mean. 

How you came from where you were 

Will always be undamaged to me. 

There was a reason you wanted money. 

It was the reason I needed to move. 

To plant a private pot for running 

All that running weve been known to do. 

And its not so much that were under great duress 

Was just in the nature of things, I guess. 

Life-size rocks to a choppy lake 

In a windy city that made our limbs shake 

And you and I on shore watching the moon. 

I worry you wont recall its shape. 

But one time alone on a casual stroll 

A thousand gnats gathered near our pupils. 

Though sun-showered they unsettled my skin 

But you said they were a miracle.
