While you slept it off, Your empire was lost Now we're not your sons Your old silver tongue It don't work too well now
We wandered off With our heads nice and soft But we were still numb We burned in the sun It got torn to pieces
I rub the grass from off my eyes And scratch my name into the sky The things beneath my floor once lied I'll never let them out And all my teeth (teeth) are now at my feet (feet) And all of the blood It comes in a flood Start counting sheep
Then I fall asleep again I find myself a-wonderin' Are forests made of skeletons of people I once knew And all their spines (spines) are perfectly aligned (aligned) Like coal powered lines Or forks silver tines Now I'm out again
We left the ground And I floated off And got lost Now this ain't my home There's no warmth in these bones Just a mark-up to help me pretend I'm sleeping
While we slept it off All the money was lost Now we can't stand up Yeah the lead in our guts It just weighs us down now We'll crawl along Despite what goes wrong Cause we're not that young Takes more than your guns to scare us off now.
*unintelligible garble of words right here*
Our feet left the ground And I floated off And got lost Now my house is far below It's buried in snow And I can't see my footprints anymore, they're too small I drift through the clouds With my heart in my mouth I'm not stopping Now the earth is far behind I'm lost in the sky With my eyes closed, I'm just waiting for my air to run out
