A Heavy Abacus Lyrics - The Big Roar - The Joy Formidable

Here we are bending feet 

In the dark before dreamless sleep 

Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze 

Throws you in the dark 

Happiness, it won't last long 

And this child behind stores it all 

The failed man's curse 

And the cost of nonchalance 

I thank you sly, watchful gene 

A plastic life up my sleeve 

If you've followed this far 

You've realized nothing 

Now your world is here 

Watch it disappear 

Abacus haunting me 

Abacus watching me 

Abacus haunting me 

Abacus watching me 

And it all plays out 

And it always comes around 

The message fades but the mess prevails 

You reckless thing leaving you in our hands 

Abacus haunting me 

Abacus watching me 

Abacus haunting me 

Abacus watching me 

All we have is this chance called memory 

(Haunting me) 

All we have is this chance called memory 

(Watching me) 

All we have is this chance called memory 

(Haunting me) 

All we have is this chance called memory
