Mgmt - Future Reflections Lyrics

Complimentary "Future Reflections" Ringtone

And there were future reflections 
On the face and the hands 
On a green colored island 
On a primitive man 
It was the future reflected 
It felt familiar but new 
A street was missing a building 
The kids had something to do 

There was a feeling the spirit was leaving 
Red like a marker 
So my tribe, with my knife 
Cut the heart from a lonely life 

I saw patterns on floorboards 
Deep in the dust was a leader 
Someone was walking on floorboards 
Turned them from oak to cedar 
He can assess the situation 
I wrapped a string around my finger 
Into the forest with the young ones 
I don't expect to be a winner 

But as long as you feel it 
I'm a believer 
My heart is phosphor 
Sea rolls and death tolls 
Break the surface don't break my bones 

Off of the trail and off of your hands and 
Onto a new plan 
Is the cost to stay lost 
Forever in an empty skin 
Pale and thin 

If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell 
But pieces come together for some reason just as well 
Their guns couldn't see us 
There's a sea outside my door 
And one day I'll appreciate 
The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore 

And remember what it felt like 
To be alone 
Sitting in the sunlight 
All alone
