Rake (feat. Alina Hardin)

Well, I used to wake and run with the Moon

Lived like a rake and a young man

Covered my lovers with flowers and wounds

And after the devil would frighten

The Sun, she would come, and beat me back down

Every cruel day had its nightfall

Welcomed the stars with wine and guitars

Full of fire and forgetful

My body was sharp and the dark air clean

Outraged my joyful companion

And whispering women how sweet they did seem

Kneeling for me to command them

Time was like water, and I was the sea

I wouldn't have noticed its passing

Except for the turning of night into day

And the turning of day into cursing

You look at me now, and don't think I don't know

What all your eyes are saying

Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies

Are just tricks that his brain's been playing?

Lover of women, he can't hardly stand

He trembles, is bent, and is broken

I've fallen, it's true, but I say to you

Hold your tongues until after I've spoken

I was takin' my pride and my pleasure, I know

Laughed and said I'd be forgiven

My laughter turned round, I was blazin' and sinnin'

My friend we're holding a wedding

I buried my face, but it spoke once again

Night to the day we are bindin'

Now the dark air is like fire on my skin

Even the moonlight is blindin'

Now the dark air is like fire on my skin

Even the moonlight is blindin'
