florence + the machine - cassandra (live at madison square garden) lyrics

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

[verse 2]
i used to move into the future and bring it all back
let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
now i creep out when there’s no one about
’cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
the gardеn’s overgrown
and i run in the middle of thе 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 with wonder on the world
as the roses bloom
and the riot van still plainly in view

[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)
take me back (ooh, ooh, ooh)
oh, drunken gods of slaughter (ooh, ooh, ooh)
you know i’ve always been your favourite daughter (ooh, ooh, ooh)

[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 enough
could i break apart
as empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?

well, can you see me?
i cannot see you
everything i thought i knew has fallen out of view
and if i run fast enough
could i break apart
as empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
