Correction Lyrics The Sickness by Future Islands

Lyrics

We had it all
We had a way of speaking, all to us
We had a way of being in love
It was the only thing I knew for sure
And now, everything's a mystery

The sickness came in like a freight train
And swept us up into small towns
The curfews pushed us to sundown
And we were caught in two places

I, I had to watch it fall apart from here
You had to watch it disappear
And now, no matter what we say or do, it's clear
Our wilderness, now sober

A newness on the land, a wetness
Indebted to all these tears
And the hardest part, pretending nothing's wrong
While we were fading deep into ourselves
But loving you always allayed my fear, it's clear
I can't release this feeling

The sickness came in like a freight train
And swept us up into small towns
The sadness pushed us till run down
And our love died in two places

I, I had to watch it fall apart from here
You had to watch it disappear
And die, I was no comfort close to hold you, dear
Outside, the virus still blooming

And all that pressure lies and builds
Till we submit to the enemy inside

Would you lie?
Would you lie?
Would you lie, tell me?
"Everything's alright"
Would you lie?
Would you lie?
Would you lie?
But you never lied to me
Would you lie this time?
