Every Time I Die - Wanderlust lyrics

rate me

I dropped my conscious and cast another stone. <br />

I took to preaching while dancing on the coals.<br />

I can't say where I've been and only God knows where I'll be but there must be a place for a wretch like me. <br />

Oh, Lord knows I'm tired but I wont rest my head until I'm home. And if my hands find themselves another body, well, you can't blame them for trying to keep warm. <br />

Morals are simply a matter of time. And when you lay your heads a question of pride. <br />

But when it's said and done, you'll find I in the lines that privilege and wit made me misfortune child. <br />

Can't tell collapse that it needs to slow down. Can't tell death that it shouldn't come around. And when they take my head and put it on a stake I'll know that guilt and disgrace keep the dead men awake. <br />

Bartering your vigor for a paralyzing love. What have you done?<br />

I took the scaffold and laughed until I fell. <br />

Girl if you need me, grab another from the well.<br />

I can't imagine what hell might have in store but I know once I'm there I won't wander anymore. <br />

Oh Lord knows I'm tired but I won't rest my head until I'm home. <br />

And if my hands find themselves another body, well, you can't blame them for trying to keep warm. <br />

Oh, Lord knows I'm weak but I can't clear my head if I'm asleep. <br />

Morals are simply a matter of time. And where you lay your heads a question of pride. <br />

But when it's said and done, you'll find it in lines that privilege and wit made me misfortune child. <br />

Can't tell collapse that it needs to slow down. Can't tell death that it shouldn't come around. <br />

And when they take my head and put it on a stake I'll know that guilt and disgrace keep the dead men awake. <br />

We've lived under this dark cloud forever. Waiting for the bad luck to break. <br />

Just let me try that one again. With a little more feeling.<br />

We've slept at the crossroads together, trying to make an honest mistake. <br />

Just let my try that one more time. Without a smile on my face.<br />

Another road is empty as every promise is. If life is pointless, then point taken. Say Amen. <br />

Light another candle, put my body out to sea because your heart is no place for a wretch like me. Another stranger passing, a common dissonance. If life is pointless, then point taken. Say amen. <br />

Light another candle, put my body out to sea because your side is no place for a wretch like me.<br />

When they unearth these passages, will I appear to be proud?<br />

Not if your listening close enough. Not if you're sounding it out.
