Cowards Starve

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.

Suddenly

I had the whip hand

I've been waiting

I'll get it right now

Friends

Look upon me

As a sodden priest

Takes a middling vow

Suddenly it seemed

I had to take them to the sheltered eyes

I had to show them that the weakest hands

Can still make impressive fires

I'm gonna show them where the smoke is born

And spoken backwards then it shall form

I'm gonna show them that the field of bones

Will never never never be joined, right!

Wide-eyed sleeper

I'm gonna drown them in the breakers

Uh-huh

I'm gonna tear that mountain down

I'm gonna turn it out

And go out in style

Cowards starve

Like a weed sick man

In the throes of a bummer

Social pressures exist

And if you think about them all of the time

You're gonna find that your head's been kicked in

You're gonna do it all for the grind

Wide-eyed sleeper

I'm gonna drown them in the breakers

Uh-huh

I'm gonna tear that mountain down

I'm gonna turn it out

And go out in style

Wide-eyed sleeper

I'm gonna drown them in the breakers

Uh-huh

I'm gonna tear that mountain down

I'm gonna turn it out

And go out in style

Go out in style

I'm going out in style

I'm going out in

I'm going out in
