Dylan Rice: Music
Eggshells & Landmines
(Dylan Rice featuring Grazyna Auguscik)
Words and music by Dylan Rice
I took on the whole lot of you,
the list of fears.
If you ever knew every grief I owned
you’d blow up in your shroud.
CHORUS
If we could walk to another place
from eggshells and landmines
If we could talk through the same mistakes
that kept us in line
until now, until now
I adore the old fire of you
that life can’t beat down
‘cause you never knew you would lose your love,
commit him to the ground
If we could walk to a level place
from eggshells and landmines
If we could talk through the quiet rage
that kept us obliged
You’ll always be my little one
Oh, oh
And you’ll always read into everything
I fumble when I speak
Don’t ever hold me to the words I throw away
To another place
From eggshells and landmines
If we talk through the same mistakes
that kept us in line
we’d be wrong, we’d move on, we’d be wrong
[Lullaby outro]
