OF MONSTERS AND MEN
"Organs"
(Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir / Ragnar Thorhallsson)

I am sorry this is always how it goes
The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed
But I never changed a single colour that I breathe
So you could have tried to take a closer look at me

I am tired of punching in the wind
I am tired of letting it all in
I should eat you up and spit you right out
I should not care but I don't know how

[Chorus 1:]
So I take off my face
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong
And pull out my tongue
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong

I am sorry for the trouble, I suppose
My blood runs red but my body feels so cold
I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea
But in the end, the waves will discolour me

[Chorus 1:]
So I take off my face
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong

[Chorus 2:]
And I cough up my lungs
Because they remind me of how it all went wrong
But I leave in my heart
Because I don't want to stay in the dark

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 1:]
So I take off my face
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong

[Chorus 2:]
And I cough up my lungs
Because they remind me of how it all went wrong
But I leave in my heart
Because I don't want to stay in the dark
