In the Veins of Death Valley Lyrics

I told you let the good ones in
You're worth your weight in gold
Struggle to fight the feud within
To face what you've become

Just when think you're at the end
You circle on yourself
It's true what they say when things get crazy
We learn to thicken skin

Feels like the poison is creeping in
Stripping your vein it's settled in
Straight to the heart, good luck
You're finished for sure

Say now it's been a lifetime of dreaming
This is the last time I bleed for you
So long, it's not forever and I'll stay
Here for the echoes instead of you

I want you to know you're in
The deepest of the oceans
I don't think that you can swim

You tell me that everything is fine here
And you can handle it
You're just on the edge, I think you're breaking
The cracks are showing up

Feels like the poison's creeping in
Stripping your vein it's settled in
Straight to the heart, good luck
You're finished for sure

Say now it's been a lifetime of dreaming
This is the last time I bleed for you
So long, it's not forever and I'll stay
Here for the echoes instead
Of you and the walking dead
You, re too far gone

Feels like the poison's creeping in
Stripping your vein it's clear to see
You're staring at death in the face
And you're all here alone

Say now it's been a lifetime of dreaming
This is the last time, when you're gone
Things will get better, and I'll be the last one laughing

Cry out- no one can hear you
Alone now- no one will miss you
Cast out- never to be seen again
It's sweet at the bitter end
Your time has come

Birds of Tokyo are a four-piece alternative rock band from Perth, Western Australia that formed in 2004. Their debut album, Day One, gained them domestic success with it reaching No. 3 on the AIR Independent Album charts, spending a total of 36 consecutive weeks in the top 10. In 2008, the band released their second album, Universes, which made it to No. 3 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart. In 2010 the band released its highest charting album to date, Birds of Tokyo, which reached No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

It’s no secret that the landscape of Birds of Tokyo’s home of Western Australia; a desert-like state so vast and unforgiving that to provide it with a soundtrack requires a higher level of grandeur and majesty one would ever dare associate with the ‘pop’ music tag.

But, down to its bones, pop music is what Birds of Tokyo write… they just layer those bones in muscle, and give the beast a heart.

Beautifully expressive in its texture, yet thick and rich in its deceptive simplicity; Birds Of Tokyo’s music is universal and incredibly humanistic. In what could be described as the blink of an eye, the band have struck a nerve in their homeland, giving way to an unprecedented rise to popularity, but it is in their blossoming international recognition can be seen the band’s true strength and ability to connect with people.
