lyrics

As dumb luck would prove we laid what is to follow
The hearse heads the large bite and begs to see how full
the back end of small steps drowns out the sea
as this body rejects no river to thee

rest if I held this place and hell I would rent here out and there I’d dwell
for the buyer has need of a hundred eyes
the sellers praying but one bite
For that one bite

When that handshake left splinters in our plans and our wrists
deaths dealer, the carpenter, was known by his chips

asked “If success has so many fathers
and these failures are but our orphans
do those withered links sleep any sounder
in a burning chorus?

For we’ve smothered the line and snapped off the key
and lives given way to mechanical things.
indifferently stuck to this blackened husk
an innovations dawn has ushered in its dusk”

realized; I’ve been pitting us against them
Solace; for a pathetic ruse that argument is
but this night is almost over and our ride is in route
and truest is the fact that slept on our backs

“We romanced our way out”
