Lyrics
Bones and hearts they crack and break. Marrow seeping out and blood intake. It’s an awful mess. Pack your resentments in a suitcase. We’re living we’re wired. Out of breath. We perspire… We’re working on empty Out of time Shine the light on our pride Caked in lime It’s not enough to hold up to the board. But, I could take a modern joke From your modern friends. I’ll devise an anecdote Strong enough to burn off Your split ends. Tie it to you anywhere Hope it keeps afloat. I’ll send you all of my prayers. In an envelope? We’re making up the years. Holding out, to a large amount, But shaking hands with everyone. Just reroute that growing doubt That’s planted in your backbone.
