City And Colour - Thirst Lyrics






When I think of
Fates worse than death
All I can think of
Is something you said
You said we were golden
Bright like the sun
And now I am stranded
Knowing I'm not the one

An ocean of anger
Flowing through me
Blood-stained and broken
From what I failed to see
And just like a snake charmer
You led me astray
Living in distress
Hoping help was on the way

In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
I came upon one single feather
A half-hearted wish for something better
Gracefully cursed
I thirst

Attached to the soil
I'm dyed in the wool
There's iron in my blood
Yet so vulnerable
But after I'm gone
Once I finally leave
You will be left alone
To the wolves and the thieves.

In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
I came upon one single feather
A half-hearted wish for something better
Gracefully cursed
I thirst

Gracefully cursed
I thirst

Gracefully cursed
I thirst

I thirst

    "Thirst"

    When I think of
    Fates worse than death
    All I can think of
    Is something you said
    You said we were golden
    Bright like the sun
    And now I am stranded
    Knowing I'm not the one

    An ocean of anger
    Flowing through me
    Blood-stained and broken
    From what I failed to see
    And just like a snake charmer
    You led me astray
    Living in distress
    Hoping help was on the way

    In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
    I came upon one single feather
    A half-hearted wish for something better
    Gracefully cursed
    I thirst

    Attached to the soil
    I'm dyed in the wool
    There's iron in my blood
    Yet so vulnerable
    But after I'm gone
    Once I finally leave
    You will be left alone
    To the wolves and the thieves.

    In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
    I came upon one single feather
    A half-hearted wish for something better
    Gracefully cursed
    I thirst

    Gracefully cursed
    I thirst

    Gracefully cursed
    I thirst

    I thirst

    When I think of fates worse than death
    All I can think of is something you said
    You said we were golden, bright like the sun
    And now I am stranded
    Knowing I’m not the one

    An ocean of anger
    Flowing through me
    Blood stained and broken
    From when I fell to sea
    And just like a snake charmer
    You led me astray
    Living in distress
    Hoping help is on the way

    In the midst of a storm
    Searching for shelter
    I came upon
    One single feather
    A half-hearted wish
    For something better
    Gracefully cursed, I thirst

    Attached to the soil
    I’m guiding the wool
    As I am in my blood
    Yet so venerable
    But after I’m gone
    Once I finally leave
    You will be left alone
    To the wolves and the thieves

    In the midst of a storm
    Searching for shelter
    I came upon
    One single feather
    A half-hearted wish
    For something better
    Gracefully cursed, I thirst
    Gracefully cursed, I thirst
    Gracefully cursed, I thirst
    I thirst

    I saw a shirt on IG the other day that had me cracking up. It said "I'm thirsty, but I'm not THAT thirsty." 🍶💃

  15. A.... R....

    muito bommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  16. M.... C....

    Let it be said, I don't know how I ended up here. Not knowing if Im still being watched, its killing me. Is he ok? is she? I havent heard from either. Please tell me theyre ok.

  17. J.... D....

    Sorry but when he does this acoustic by himself with just his guitar, this song shines the brightest.

  18. M.... B....

    This is pretty great. Reminds me a bit of Precious by Depeche Mode. Not a bad thing.

  19. p.... g....

    love this song

    Just like a snake charmer, you lend me your strength....

  22. G.... S....

    St. Kitts represent!

  23. J.... B....

    AH NOW there's the silver lining~

  24. K.... M....

    thanks one single feather.

  25. B.... E....

    beautiful voice :3

  26. X.... ....

    city and colour is always ahead of time. everything they do is cool even before the sleepers realize it. always excited when music is released.

  27. G.... L....

    Maconha + sexo ... melhor coisa

  28. J.... d....

    Batida sedutora, música linda, ótima!

    J.... d....

    A batida lembra Cars de Gary Numan.

  29. M.... D....

    This track reminds me something like Oingo Boingo in the 80´s

  30. A.... W....

    Been trying to find an artist like this for so long!!! The vocals are on point XD

  31. M.... ....

    "here in my car, I feel safest of all.."

  32. K.... ....

    I'm thirsty...

  33. N.... ....

    I find it amazing how rap videos get millions of plays and this doesnt even break a mill. Still warms my heart to know that true music still exists. Dallas is one of few musicians to break those barriers. Dallas if your reading this. You got love here in Chicago!

    N.... ....

    +Devin Jurishi Same here in Detroit! This guy is loved in the Motor City!!!

    N.... ....

    I have seen Dallas in LA he is worth the money to see live! My favorite Canadian! His voice can pierce your soul, he is totally amazing. I believe Dallas dosen't get that many hits on his videos because all the really teens don't really seem to know what real talent is. They listen to a lot of doctored pop stars! That's just my take on it!

    N.... ....

    Easy people we love him here in CANADA

  34. C.... J....

    Duke, I couldn't agree more.

  35. E.... ....

    Musica Fodaaaaaaa

  36. A.... K....

    Du karalho the best

    A.... K....

    melhor comentario?????

    A.... K....

    @Gabriela Menezes total kkkkkkkkkkkk

  37. N.... V....

  38. T.... B....

  40. D.... A....

    Brilliant! Restores my faith in modern music.

    D.... A....

  42. W.... W....

    Amanhã, no Rio

  43. T.... D....

    So nice to see Dallas doing a solo thing, listened to Alexisonfire for him basically!

  44. B.... S....

    Dallas Green is way too perfect

  45. A.... P....

    please come to indonesia.

  46. S.... ....

    God I love the distorted guitar in this

    S.... ....

    That is a bass I believe, if you're referring to the fuzzy-ish instrument that's quite prominent in the verse. That wouldn't be distortion though regardless, This is a folk song, distortion in a folk song would be very much out of place. But it is quite a cool effect :P

    S.... ....

    +WillyT you're insane if you believe this to be folk

    S.... ....

    @Justin Roberts Yeah folk isnt exactly the right word. Since it is dallas there are a lot of folk styled stuff in there but at it's core it;s more of a soft rock song.

    S.... ....

    It's a guitar with a Dallas-Arbiter (or most likely a more recent reproduction built by Dunlop) Fuzz Face pedal. It was commonly used in the 60's and 70's by guitarists like David Gilmour, Don Felder, Jimi Hendrix... the list is very long.

  47. L.... K....

    woah i really like his eyes c:

  48. L.... F....

    Someone knows the name of the girl that appears at 01:34 ?

    L.... F....

    @beatriz knippel Ditto

    L.... F....

    She's fucking beautiful!

    L.... F....

  56. T.... ....

    Why aren't city and colour known more I'm England. If city and colour where on the English radio all the time, and if they replaced all the shit that's played on the radio with city and colour. City and colour deserve to be known by millions more Cus Dallas is the greatest singer ever and has a beautiful voice and the music they make us beautiful and inspirational. I love city and colour!

  87. h.... g....

  88. H.... A....

    Maybe it was more the video than the song?

  89. R.... J....

  90. J.... S....

    What 2 people are stupid enough to hit the dislike button? This would be chasing song of the year from my point of view! Just a classic track

  91. L.... L....

    Dallas + his music + naked girls= always a good combination since Fragile Bird
