Parka of Bartimaeus

They'll break through our fortress
We've worked hard in time
While we're fast asleep
Better buckle your mind
I taste salt on my tongue
They're trying to make me spit
But I won't give up my lungs
As long as we both have grit

Oh no, I feel our bones
Have left us defenseless
I don't understand my lips
Oh no, we're at it alone
Without our defenses
We can't fight against this

I'm walking this road, I'm out on my own
I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna fly
I'm writing my lines against fighting times
They stalk me at night, I'm trying to find
The cure to my bones, I'll lurk in the known
Where else could it be, I don't wanna see
And now I regret ever being a threat
And I know I'm afraid, but what else can I say
When the world starts to turn, all the forests they burn
And you don't understand the point of your hand
So lock in your soul the words that I've told
Remember the fight, remember the light
It's so hard to be somebody to thee
It's so hard to leave whenever you need
So lock in your soul the words that I've told
Remember the fight, remember the light

Oh no, I feel our bones
Have left us defenseless
I don't understand my lips
Oh no, we're at it alone
Without our defenses
We can't fight against this
(Can't fight against)

They circle around the worlds that they've found
Controlling our minds, in one they align
The truth they ensue by enforcing you
To break from this path, like wolves in a pack
There's no way around, face what you've found
You know how to mound the alarms in their sound
And they beat you down
And they beat you down

Will your hands pull me over?
Will the tide take me back?
Will your hands pull me over?
Will the tide take me back?

Oh no, I feel our bones
Have left us defenseless
I don't understand my lips
Oh no, we're at it alone
Without our defenses
We can't fight against this
