Every Time I Die - Old Light lyrics

rate me

I'm a great oasis

Yeah I'm a mirage

I'm a beam of old light from a vanquished star

Dnd I'll only guide you into the dark

I'm a parasite with a tapeworm

Yeah I got a bulletproof vest

Knowing my bad luck I ain't ever gonna die

So the good will never get any rest

Come bail me out of the state I'm in

The drinks I've had are no match for the truth

The crowd down here put its teeth in us

But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is

So we leave it in and do those things that make us forget that we're dying here

Oh but we're dying here

So love the blood while you can

Let it warm your freezing hands

I'm a dog less master

Yeah, I'm a masterless dog

And when the whip and the tether are put aside

Forever I'm and ox that wanders into the swamp

I'm a rattlesnake across a braided rope

I'm the demon on your side of the chalk

If they caught them girls who started them fires

Yeah they'll take me down in the fog

Come bail me out of the state I'm in

The drinks I've had are no match for the truth

The crowd down here put its teeth in us

But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is

So we leave it in and do those things that make us forget

That we're dying here

Oh but we're dying here

So love the blood while you can

Let it warm your freezing hands

You put a hex on me woman

You're a thinner

You’re a thinner

And these are nuclear winters

Atomic black winters

I've kept the fire alive because I'm a sinner

I'm a sinner

Come here and let me boil your blood

I'm a train as long as the track

I am concurrently outbound and just now getting back

They struck me up by a rope as tall as the trees

Though I land on my own two feet I still sway in the breeze
