If we gotta spend
Every minute left
In the lion’s den
Then give me something sweet
To put between its teeth
Anything but me
Waiting on a second son
The first you spurn the next you love
Man you’ve got it down to a science
You can be forever young
Rich enough until you’re numb
I would rather die trying
We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe
I know that you can see the flaw
Break your teeth to spare your jaw
Tell me what’s been troubling you child
No vision came to you at night
Nothing broke open the sky
Fear is such an elegant liar
We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe
If we gotta spend
Every minute left
Trying to pretend
Then give me something strong
That I can write it on
Something to defend
Think of all the wasted years
Trying to defeat the fear
You could have been living beside it
You and I can both be wrong
After all it’s up to us
Aren’t you getting sick and tired
We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe
We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe
(We will never know baby)
(It’s better that we don’t maybe)

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
