Sam Draper - Zero Mostel Lyrics

The fall, the flood
The banks are wearing thin
The end, the days
The nights are drawing in
So many tales but
No one's listening
Hung up on fate
But fate is not a thing

And in and through all of the darkest towns
I'll take you out to where redemption's found
To shut my eyes and never make a sound
To paint the leaves and never to be found

And I'm Zero Mostel
And I can wait this out
I'm Zero Mostel
And I can wait this out

The intervening years have made me weak
The horrors that come to me when I sleep
But on the backs of creatures through these streets
To paint my eyelids and help me find peace

And overthrow the f*cker in my head
And toffee apples, all the things you said
And rapeseed fields, and everything you said
Forgiveness rock songs, everything you said

And I'm Zero Mostel
And I can wait this out
I'm Zero Mostel
And I can wait this out

Give me an excuse
I will give you something special
Something delicious
Give me all your darkest feelings
And I will cocoon a butterfly
Give me the chance and I will be
Everything
Everything again

The fall, the flood
The banks have given in
The waters rush, the tower's collapsing
So many tales but no one's listening
So much to do but no one does a thing
