lyrics

There you sat with a holy book in your hands. You shined like some distant sun.
And oh, that sweet melody was ringing and hung heavy on my ear drums.

But now something has gone wrong, our songs have been sung, but your heart is still deaf and dumb.

Yea, you’ve proved immune to this tune that I’ve been singing. I guess my voice couldn’t reach you that far.
Please come, you white haired fool, I’ve had enough. This is the last face you’ll ever leave scarred,

And your soft, sweet voice will be lost to spiteful clocks who spin to see us rot.

Oh, do you really know your part?
No, but you’ve painted the past with that little tainted heart,
Yea, yours has been pieced together in the dark
By your old man’s hand’s from the start,
He just gives and he takes and he gives,

And he makes or breaks all of your bold thoughts,
And binds your life to something that’ll never be lost.
And damn, that thought has been eatin’ at you.
Those years you thought were forgotten will be nailed to the cross.

But wait, we’ve never even heard your name since you came around,
You were just another creature with a strange face, but oh,
Now you’re worried that your looks have started changing, and babe I’m afraid to tell you that it's so,
This curse ain’t one you can escape, oh no..

So this is all just a free fall,
Each one of us is blinded by the weight of it all.
And though just some of the roads are connected,
They all lead back to the same goddamn questions,

Well kid, you can’t leave your mark here now, so why don’t you go
Back to the swamps where you came from, now that you know
This warmth ain’t worth all of the cold spells. Yea, and all along
We’ve known this sad fact, you’re not alone.
