This Independence

The light is bending early
 Around the prodigal
 The gunner whispers gently
 His shadow on the wall
 The crowd is bursting from me
 A single animal
 It finds its freedom early
 They're going to take it all
 This independence
 We are the metal shell
 10,000 bodies
 Run from an empty well
 All of your lovers
 Are heroes in my bed
 All night the echoes
 Of breathing heads
 ♪
 A silent angry cry
 A miracle of purpose
 Looks up into the sky
 The camera crew is running
 The world is shrinking fast
 Tonight you drink your coffee
 And watch the world aghast
 This independence
 We are the metal shell
 10,000 bodies
 Run from an empty well
 All of your lovers
 Are heroes in my bed
 All night the echoes
 Of breathing heads
