Lyrics
How We Die
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Naked and trembling we enter
Desperate scratches
Hoping to fly
Hopeful then hopeless
We flounder
Eating the answers
That's how we die
Rowing unending rivers
Swallowing slivers of beauty sublime
Dragging a barrel of wishes
Waiting for kisses
That's how we die
Unfinished pictures, played out hands
Serving the sentence we can't understand
Arching towards heaven, the music was canned
Memory fails us courting the land
Hungry for what we have tasted
The years that we wasted
The moons that we cried
Shielding
Looking for shelter
Lottery chances
Still we try
Puzzles to manufacture
Gravity fractures
That's how we die
Unfinished pictures, played out hands
Serving the sentence we can't understand
Arching towards heaven, the music was canned
Memory fails us courting the land
Moving the sofa, riding the rails
Keeping our secrets dumped out in pails
Arching towards heaven, the music was canned
Serving the sentence, courting the land
