[00:16.67] |
When you were young |
[00:18.54] |
You'd bite your tongue |
[00:21.79] |
Calm always did what you were told |
[00:24.78] |
Never ran your mouth |
[00:26.53] |
Lived life on tiptoes |
[00:29.95] |
Only felt peace if by yourself |
[00:32.64] |
When mistakes don't count |
[00:35.51] |
There's a hole in your chest |
[00:38.88] |
From the time that you were born |
[00:41.63] |
One that don't get filled |
[00:43.31] |
Cause you've always known you're nothing they want |
[00:49.43] |
But everybody's bones are just holy branches |
[00:55.85] |
Cast from trees to cut patterns into the world |
[01:00.22] |
And in time we find some shelter |
[01:04.28] |
Spill our leaves and then sleep in the Earth |
[01:09.08] |
And when we're there we'll belong |
[01:12.95] |
Cause the Earth don't give a damn if you're lost |
[01:32.48] |
Now I live alone |
[01:36.48] |
Work in the belly of machines |
[01:39.53] |
Wring my soot black hands |
[01:41.84] |
And I don't sleep much |
[01:44.96] |
Days don't feel much different |
[01:47.21] |
From the nights |
[01:48.27] |
With no goals in mind |
[01:50.52] |
There's a hole in my chest |
[01:53.95] |
From the time I walked away |
[01:56.07] |
One I fill with sweat |
[01:58.69] |
So now I know I'm nothing they want |
[02:04.31] |
But everybody's bones are just holy branches |
[02:09.71] |
Ride the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves |
[02:15.64] |
And in time we find some shelter |
[02:19.32] |
Spill our seeds and then wait for our turns |
[02:23.87] |
But for now we're adraift on the waves of disconent |
[02:29.80] |
Trying to carve our place |
[02:32.42] |
All in hopes we'll be something they want |
[02:37.41] |
But I'm not holding my breath |
[03:13.42] |
Trace your fingers down my spine |
[03:17.66] |
Make your home behind my eyes |
[03:21.84] |
Line my skull with harmless lies |
[03:25.65] |
I'll bide my time until I'm something they want |
