Before The Old Man Died

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.

I used to walk in shadows

I stayed out of the sun

I used to sort informtaion

and I used to pass it on

Before the old man died

Before we came alive

Before the old man died

I used to follow orders

Did my duty like a son

But I fell in love with whispers

And I turned them into songs

Before the old man died

Before we came alive

Before the old man died

For the way he ruined our mother

Not enough blood can run

We had plans me and my brother

Every day I cleaned the gun

Before the old man died

Before we came alive

Before the old man died

Before we came alive
