POWDERFINGER - This Syrup To Exchange lyrics

rate me

It's a early rise<br>His teeth are furred<br>And cleanse with hands to hunt and hold<br>The sun divides<br>Imagined leaves<br>A shelter while I sleep<br><br>There are many years<br>To cloud my mind<br>But no burden<br>It's heavy like a tipping load<br><br>Early day<br>On a bloodied patch<br>Only noise and brick surround<br>Tradition sinks<br>In the soil here<br>As a rock is swallowed in the mud<br><br>The polluted skin<br>Of my brittle earth<br>It keeps the bleeding at bay<br><br>This syrup sweet and thick to exchange me<br>My spirit has rearranged<br>Crippled, dampened, lame<br><br>As it goes<br>The syrup fills my eyes<br>The days faces fade to black<br>And I don't feel<br>And I can't fight<br>For my home anymore<br>Anymore<br><br>And I return to an open land<br>Where bloods blanket shielded me<br><br>This syrup sweet and thick to exchange me<br>My spirit has rearranged<br>Crippled, dampened, lame
