Florence + the Machine
An Offering (Rabbit Heart Demo)
[Verse 1]
The looking glass, so shiny and new
How quickly the glamour fades
Something starts slipping out of mind
Was that the wrong pill to take? (Raise it up)
You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough? (Raise it up, raise it up)
It's not enough (Raise it up, raise it up)
Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I've made the final sacrifice
[Pre-Chorus]
We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up
[Chorus]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king, hе holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Verse 2]
I look around, but I can't find you (raisе it up)
If only I could see your face (raise it up)
Instead of rushing towards the skyline (raise it up)
I wish that I could just be brave
I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
[Pre-Chorus]
We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up
[Chorus]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king, he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Bridge]
Raise it up, raise it up
Raise it up, raise it up
And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it
[Chorus] (x3)
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Outro]
This is a gift
