Lyrics

There's this guy in the hall and his arms are unjointed
And he sways
There's a gap where his eyes used to stare disappointed
At the days
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay
There's a book that I read made of muscle and sinew
From my side
Though the writing is poor, I can vouch it continues
Where I lied
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay
There's a song in my mouth struggling hard to escape me
While it may
But its biscuits turn raw, too naive and unshapely
To betray
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we're forced of peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave
There's a bone in my hand, fresh remains of the man who
At my feet
And it writes in the book, dripping words I untangle
From the beat
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we're forced of peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we're forced of peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we're forced of peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we're forced of peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we're forced of peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave
