For Hearse Guest Records

lyrics

Here it goes, a sort of ex-voto
With a handful of discord that is ready to sew
And how wild it grows

dear friend of mine
Of brick and dime
Your Iscariot silver has up and lost it’s shine
And how it shined, it shined.

Is there no one left to help
the widow’s son who fell the long way down?

Now I’m too many words washed down the drain
Gather me like rivers, gather me like rain
I don’t mean to accuse, I don’t mean to complain
I’m too low to the bird for my prayer to be heard anyways

Full attack, Over trails and track
While your eyes are too far forward
to know what’s rolling off the back
A long way back
Tilt and sway
Mercury’s in retrograde
I’m just a glutton for punishment and the kitchen’s open late

Is there no one left to help
the widow’s son who fell the long way down?

Now’s there too many keys linked on my chain
They’re so heavy in my pocket, so heavy in my brain
And I stumble and fumble for an opening
But not a one of them unlock anything interesting anyway
