Philip Selway - The Numbers lyrics

[Verse 1] It holds us like a phantom It touches like a breeze It shines its understanding See the moon is smiling Open on all channels Ready to receive Cause we're not at the mercy Of your chimeras and spells Your chimeras and spells Mmmhm We are of the earth To her we do return The future is inside us It's not somewhere else It's not somewhere else It's not somewhere else [Chorus] (One day at a time) One day at a time [Verse 2] We call upon the people The people have this power The numbers don't decide The system is a lie A river running dry The wings of bu*terflies And you may pour us away like soup Like we're pretty broken flowers We'll take back what is ours Take back what is ours [Chorus] One day at a time
