To burn the day again
When darkness shows no end
Smile at the saddest times
Weep for a happy life
[Chorus 1]
Eyes fixed on heavens high
I tumble into holes
[Verse 2]
I follow suit in dreams
Voice of the wind and streams
Wise men have none like mine
I am the fools delight
[Chorus 2]
I beg by the moonlight
The voice never consoles
[Verse 3]
I wake with mind aflame
My joy and sorrow same
The gray fell all around
A sickness so profound
[Chorus 3]
I've earned this endless night
I've earned this bed of coals
[Bridge]
The world's come to a head
The sun and moon are dead
Nothing more here to see
The light gives up
Now it's leaving me
I've made myself a thief
Lived beyond belief
If god's just a jawbone
We're just his crooked, rotten teeth
[Breakdown]
I'll wear these mortal coils
Like snakes around my ankles
I'll be thankful
I deserve no less
Spend my last days under duress
[Chorus 1]
Eyes fixed on heavens high
I tumble into holes
I'll wear these mortal coils
Like snakes around my ankles
I'll be thankful
I deserve no less
Spend my last days under duress
[Chorus 1]
Eyes fixed on heavens high
I tumble into holes
[Outro]
Spend my last days
Spend my last days under duress
[Verse 1] To burn the day again When darkness shows no end Smile at the saddest times Weep for a happy life [Chorus 1] Eyes fixed on heavens high I tumble into holes [Verse 2] I follow suit in dreams Voice of the wind and streams Wise men have none like mine I am the fools delight [Chorus 2] I beg by the moonlight The voice never consoles [Verse 3] I wake with mind aflame My joy and sorrow same The gray fell all around A sickness so profound [Chorus 3] I've earned this endless night I've earned this bed of coals [Bridge] The world's come to a head The sun and moon are dead Nothing more here to see The light gives up Now it's leaving me I've made myself a thief Lived beyond belief If god's just a jawbone We're just his crooked, rotten teeth [Breakdown] I'll wear these mortal coils Like snakes around my ankles I'll be thankful I deserve no less Spend my last days under duress [Chorus 1] Eyes fixed on heavens high I tumble into holes I'll wear these mortal coils Like snakes around my ankles I'll be thankful I deserve no less Spend my last days under duress [Chorus 1] Eyes fixed on heavens high I tumble into holes [Outro] Spend my last days Spend my last days under duress Explain Request ×
