Lyrics
A Private Future
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.
Thinking of your private future
You snatched at the trees
In the starry dark green sleep
Thinking of your private future
You think at the river and set it flowing
A late fog's lifting a fast wind's rising
So you turn to reflect on your brief life
Session slip
Thinking of your private future
Cut by the scars of timeless coming back
Realize the unreachable is nothing
Cool winds wash down your hope and you slipped
Cool winds wash down your hope and you slipped
God's good to the humble
As the devil is to fools
Stop looking back in anger
Cause you can't change the rules
Believe in where you're going
But don't lose your yesterdays
To terrify to cry its true
Your life is just a game
So I need a million dollars
To sit on mountain tops
To see the stars surround you
Is to see an awful lot
I see the work of sinners
I see the work of saints
So I see the work of everyone
That's ever ever been
Sleep without reason
Your laughing masks your love
You've got so many scars
How does it feel deep in your heart?
Cause when the covers blown over
It'll crack up your skin
So now you're drowning your sorrows
In whiskey and sin
Live the life you love
In the god you trust
And don't take it all to seriously
AHHHH
AHHHH
AHHHH
AHHHH
