>> lyrics <<
Try not to make a scene
of their wandering
And settle for a draw
They trade ambition for a good night’s sleep
Under the medicine they don’t need me
Not one of them
will ever see
I bring bombs to a knife party
Not one of them will ever see
I bring bombs to a knife party

The sound
and fury
feel safe when we are not alone
But don’t deceive yourself
A walking shadow, man
A bleeding heart and
the blood will not touch anybody’s hands
A walking shadow, man
A bleeding heart and
the blood will not touch anybody

Surrounded by no-lives
All the new cemeteries are made of quicksand
Hands remain unclean
transcripts of sacred scenes
