florence + the machine - cassandra (acoustic) lyrics

[verse 1]
i used to see the future and now i see nothin’
they cut out my eyes and sent me home packing
to pace around the kitchen for scr+ps of inspiration
crying like cassandra, i
used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
and left me doing laundry to thinkin’ what i’ve done
it wasn’t me, it was the song

[verse 2]
i used to move into the future, bring it all back
let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
now i creap out when there’s no one about
’cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep mе out
with gardens of the grove
and i run in thе middle of the road (ooh)
[chorus]
well, can you see me? i cannot see you
everything i thought i knew has fallen out of view
in this blindness i’m condemned to
well, can you hear me? i cannot hear you
every song i thought i knew, i’ve been deafened to
and there’s no one left to sing to

[verse 3]
all the gods have been domesticated
and heaven is now overrated
and the churches, they all closed their doors
but you can take your complaints straight to the lord
i try to still look where they wander on the work
as the roses bloom
and the riot plants, they play me and you

[chorus]
well, can you see me? i cannot see you
everything i thought i knew has fallen out of view
in this blindness that i’m condemned to
well, can you hear me? i cannot hear you
every song i thought i knew, i’ve been deafened to
and there’s no one left to sing to

[bridge]
ooh
ooh
ooh, oh
ooh, ooh, ooh (take me back)
ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, the drunken gods oversee me)
ooh, ooh, ooh (i must be their favourite daughter)
[chorus]
well, can you see me? i cannot see you
everything i thought i knew has fallen out of view
and if i run fast and back, could i break apart
as empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
