Lyrics

Close my eyes and drift into the silence Barely see the ultraviolet Slipped and fell into the deep end Oh, the sidewalks shimmer just like diamonds All the empty words were flying Well, the heart was low but I never was alone I never was alone 

I've been running for so long All that's left is skin and bones Close my eyes and fight to carry on Sometimes it makes no sense at all If I stumble, will I fall? If I fall I'll tuck and roll Close my eyes and let the love light guide me home Let the love light guide me home

Washed and fades and falls into another I'm not getting any further Left you feeling like an alien Oh, the sidewalks, they were lying Lost myself while I was hiding And the heart was low but I never was alone I never was alone

I've been running for so long All that's left is skin and bones Close my eyes, fight to carry on Sometimes it makes no sense at all If I stumble, will I fall? If I fall I'll tuck and roll 

Close my eyes and let the love light guide me home Let the love light guide me home

Hearts are empty almost all the time Blind devising ways to lead the blind And it seems as if there's no end in sight I don't wanna be there when it all goes down But if I gotta be there don't let me hit the ground 'Til I hit the groundI've been running for so long All that's left is skin and bones Close my eyes, fight to carry on Sometimes it makes no sense at all If I stumble, will I fall? 

If I fall I'll tuck and roll Close my eyes and let the love light guide me home Let the love light guide me home Let the love light guide me home 

Background 

Lead singer and a founding member of Cage The Elephant, Matthew Ray Shultz was born on 23 October 1983.  Raised in Bowling Green, Kentucky, alongside high school friends and future bandmates including his older brother Brad Shultz (guitar), Daniel Tichenor (bass, backing vocals), Lincoln Parish (lead guitar), and Jared Champion (drums). Shultz and his brother came from a poor background and were sometimes teased for this, with his brother being called "Poor Boy" by children at their school. Their father is also a musician and also named Brad. Their parents separated when the brothers were young. After the divorce, their mother dated Shultz's football coach, prompting him to quit the team and play music as an act of rebellion.
