Riendeau - Good Scare, Rat Face lyrics

rate me

Stepping out into the air,<br />

There was a calm that I’d known so well. <br />

I could feel it in my work worn hands, <br />

A calm my father had once known, <br />

And those before him. <br />

It was not a feeling I was built for. <br />

My hands need so much more.<br />

So much more.<br />

<br />

Heavy lies the crown of crooked thorns on the head of a busy man, <br />

Neglecting all that he loved. <br />

But did he ever beg, cheat, steal, <br />

Borrow or kill just to live.<br />

To survive all the daily demands? <br />

He’ll never live the life of a thief, <br />

But in order to get ahead you must dine with that wolf. <br />

He’ll wait patiently for his return, <br />

Refusing to fall to the grave. <br />

<br />

Let the strings tighten. <br />

Let em tighten around your neck.<br />

Hang em high.<br />

Let em hang up high. <br />

Let the tie tighten around your neck. <br />

Tighten around.<br />

<br />

Can you feel the suffocation? <br />

You live your life like a briefcase, with nothing inside. <br />

<br />

Heavy lies the crown of crooked thorns, <br />

On the head of golden hair of that child left behind.
