Every Time I Die Lyrics

4. Wanderlust

I dropped my conscious and cast another stone
I took to preaching while dancing on the coals
I can't say where I've been and god only knows where I'll be
But there must be a place for a wretch like me
Oh, lord knows I'm tired but i won't 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
Morals are simply a matter of time
And where you lay your heads a question of pride
But when it's said and done,
You'll find it in the lines
That privilege and wit made misfortunes child
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
Bartering your vigor for a paralyzing love.
What have you done?
What have you done?
I took the scaffold and laughed until i fell
Girl if you need me
Grab another from the well
I can't imagine what hell might have in store
But i know once I'm there i won't wander anymore
Oh, lord knows I'm tired but i won't rest my head until I'm home
And if my hands find themselves another body
Oh, lord knows I'm weak but i can't clear my head if I'm asleep
Morals are simply a matter of time
And where you lay your heads a question of pride
But when it's said and done,
You'll find it in the lines
That privilege and wit made me misfortunes child
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
We've lived under this dark cloud forever
Waiting for the bad luck to break
Just let me try that one again
With a little more feeling
We've slept at the crossroads together
Trying to make an honest mistake
Just let me try that one more time
Without a smile on my face
Another road as empty as every promise is
If life is pointless, then point taken
Say amen
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
Light another candle
Put my body out to swea
Because your heart is no place for a wretch like me
When they unearth these passages
Will i appear to be proud?
Not if your listening close enough
Not if your sounding it out.
