if it's bombs away
when the future's looking bleak
find a cool, dry lonely place
to put my body down to sleep
x4
I'm down to breathe
like the tree
so lonely in a silent forest
I look for us
in the green leaves that hold the knowledge for us
carbon dioxide
monoxide exchange
down to the rocks
I toss out my change
caution the toss and make it so plain
that I spoke it aloud and made it my name
my pain
is how
I'm out of the game
tore up the rules
and made it my fame in no place
take it or leave it
nowhere's better than somewhere we've been
still reading all the lies
in between the mark is why
if it's bombs away
when the future's looking bleak
find a cool, dry lonely place
to put my body down to sleep
x4
sip the elixir of life
feel it inside it feels quite nice
I feel it alive I feel it alight
burning the surface of the all that's within
i fight the finish before it begins
and like the finnish I fight with sticks and skiis
no motorized tricks in me
so sew the right end
lift it up
pride in prejudice
prick the thumbs
I reddit and shake the wrung from right
no light gets in when the candles are lit
and everyone licks the same little bit
no dry spot to sit
note writ by the mouth
ripped it cryptic and left it out
so listen to the sound of blabbering hounds and wolves
if it's bombs away
when the future's looking bleak
find a cool, dry lonely place
to put my body down to sleep
x4
