Sleater-Kinney - Bury Our Friends lyrics

rate me

Ft. Miranda July

(Verse)

Today I am stitched up & sewn

Catch me up, I got warmth in my bones

Locks 'em down you know you could throw away

I found my legs, ready 2 climb out from under concrete

Only I get 2 be sickened by me, my body is merged

Can't make out the details

Why start over, give it 2 me

(Chorus)

Exhume our idols & bury our friends

We're wild & weary but we won't give in

We're sick with worry, these nervous days

We live on dread in our own guilded age

(Verse 3)

This dark world is precious 2 me

My scars make me breathe in so deep

My body has no need 4 sleep, this time around

Ready 2 fight, fight makes the stillness

Only I get 2 be punched by me

Your voice is a crumb it leads me from the wildness

Why start over, forget everythin'

(Chorus)

Exhume our idols & bury our friends

We're wild & weary but we won't give in

We're sick with worry, these nervous days

We live on dread in our own guilded age

(Bridge)

Make me a headline, I want 2 that bold

Make me a spotlight so I can see the gold

Make me a headline I want 2 feel that bold

Make me a spotlight so I can see the gold

(Chorus)

Exhume our idols & bury our friends

We're wild & weary but we won't give in

We're sick with worry, these nervous days

We live on dread in our own guilded age

(Outro)

We speak in circles

We dance in code

Untamed & hungry

On fire & in cold

Exhume our idols & bury our friends

We're wild & weary but we won't give in
