Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun brings up yesterday's evils
And drags them back into the sky
I have not long enough arms, my love
To reach for the curtains of life
[Verse 2]
The days have a thing for believers
As the night has its hands in your eyes
And it may not just be tomorrow
It may be the rest of your life
[Verse 3]
And here is a song for the lonely
And a prayer whispered into the night
For a withered cunt with a broken lung
And a thorn etched in his side
[Verse 4]
Food for the worms
Blood for the trees to grow
Muscle and bone
Arrogant soul
[Verse 5]
Song for the birds
Carbon and apathy
Carving goodbyes
In the back of your throne
[Verse 6]
Is this the fight?
Losing my sanity
Losing my mind
Finding my home
I don't blame me
I'm growing old
[Verse 7]
You limp through the small conversations
From the weight your back foot has to bear
As you empty your guts to the alley
And sweep up the yesterday prayers
[Verse 8]
These days, I'm a sucker for tenses
I write in the third-person now
And days I'm not swingin' for fences
I'm singin' for ways to get out
[Verse 9]
And here is a song for the empty
And a prayer uttered into the ground
For the broken king with his arm in a sling
And his hands holdin' onto his crown, oh
[Verse 10]
Food for the worms
Blood for the trees to grow
Muscle and bone
Arrogant soul
[Verse 11]
Song for the birds
Carbon and apathy
Carving goodbyes
In the back of your throne
[Verse 12]
Is this the fight?
Losing my sanity
Losing my mind
Finding my home
I don't blame me
I'm growing old
I'm growing old
