Free the starling from the tower and face the light
Ignore the muttering and the chattering outside
I seem to paper over all of my mistakes
But the more I do the more I seem to make

Alive in the human tide
Under neon mistakes
I submit to the hate
Of the raging sky

Be still tonight
Be still tonight
Be fragile tonight
And you know it's alright

And we're stuck between savageness and grace
And take our places for the never ending race
And the more we need, the more we need to make
And the more we give, the more we need to take

Alive in the human tide
And the rhythm is strong
Like the stick on the drum
And it fills closed eyes

Be still tonight
Be still tonight
Be fragile tonight
And you know it's alright
Be still tonight
Be still tonight
Be fragile tonight
And you know it's alright

Alive in the human tide
Under neon mistakes
I submit to the hate
Of the raging sky
