| You've got beet blood in your mouth and lies in your artichoked heart | |
| You’re black eyes stalking through me | |
| With a birdcage for ribs, that vultures trying to get out | |
| It’s scratching your kidney wings | |
| We’re no longer feeding ourselves, the raccoons are eating our dreams | |
| Pushing past our feeblery to keep them out, this morning I heard one sing: | |
| There's a whole big world out there my son, be careful don't believe them. | |
| There's a crazy old lady in the sun, she's angry can't you feel it? | |
| If you don’t work hard you’re no son of mine, well I’ve earned these riverbeds | |
| And I’ll drown you out until you’ve made me proud if you won’t learn you’re better off dead. | |
| So, I’m digging in this farm yard trying to find the seeds | |
| Forgetting all I have left in this world of course that includes me | |
| So I’m digging and I’m learning and leaving nothing unsaid | |
| All I am is all I have, I’ll take this garden for my bed | |
| And these are not just words built like a city of dreams, we have no use for this kingdom | |
| I’m proud of you my friends, may your lives be a symphony of freedom | |
| I don't want to live forever. I just want to live for now | |
| But the angel on my doorstep keeps pointing me towards that plow | |
| So I’m digging in with both my hands, keeping one eye on the door | |
| If I go looking I’ll probably find it, and get all I’ve been asking for | |
| I don't want to live forever. I just want to live for me | |
| But your face just keeps haunting, sometimes it’s all I see | |
| So I’m working hard at learning all I can I’m gonna give it all to you | |
| I’ll keep making payments, until we’re all so straight and true | |
| We’re all so straight and true, we’re all so straight and true | |
| I want to paint seeds together, and follow you right up to the edge | |
| Filled up and spilling like carried cups, and watch the sun go red | |
| But there’s poison right here in our water, and a shark somewhere in the well | |
| I wanna show you my life, show me your life and tell me it’s not the devil | |
| I guess I feel the way I feel, you make me feel like I‘m alive | |
| And I’m alive, am I alive? I am alive so you can live | |
| Please come and live, why don’t you live, you can live inside of me | |
| There’s a home for you inside me, inside of me there is a fire | |
| Inside that fire, there is more fire, and in that fire there is truth | |
| But we take our furnace-chests, and run em neck deep into that lake | |
| And let the coals stare us down, one last glare of doubt and hate | |
| But we were wrong, no I was wrong, we’ll just be wrong about some things | |
| And it will never be, it can never be, it should never be this easy | |
| Wash away the fire that burns, we wash away our flame | |
| My eyes saw fire, my heart said escape | |
| I said my eyes saw fire, my heart did escape | |
| It’s the beauty in the struggle has me going keeps me shook | |
| Sometimes I can see it in your face God but not in the pages of a book | |
| And there's something in your eye that's asking | |
| I got no answers, just clues for a path to truth | |
| I thought it was you. but yeah, I thought it was me too. | |
| I don't want to live forever. I just want to live for us | |
| But the head up on my shoulders keeps driving me to be careless | |
| Our brains don’t want to listen, ears squinting for some honesty | |
| It’s gets slippery here, hold on, we are not ourselves probably | |
| I don't want to live forever. I just want to live for you | |
| But the devil round my doorway keeps singing me something new | |
| So I’m listening with idle hands cupped tight around both ears | |
| My minds open like a burned down house, I haven’t died at all | |
| I haven't died at all this year, I haven't died at all this year | |
| I haven't died at all this year. |
| You' ve got beet blood in your mouth and lies in your artichoked heart | |
