lyrics

“I think I’m dying,” he says. “People don’t die so easy.” “They say I’m small but I’m a giant to the ants.” I never left his side while he slept. Make your way through a life that you hate. Make all things new. Let all things die. Like you will. To opened, and honest, he never was enough. He’s searching for true love. The truth is there is none. He’s broken his promise to never give hope up. The search for a new life, you can’t run and can’t hide. A fray Treasure Town couldn’t mend. Nor make ends meet. Afraid treasure town wouldn’t mend. Too late to make ends meet. Cigar ashes on the pavement where we spill our heads. And hearts vast under proof and percent of the sun. Only when the earth can claim your limbs, will you truly learn how to dance. I am the barrel burning pressed against your broken bread. Urn to hold your ashes once your wine has been bled. This is our town. This is our blood on the bricks. Black. White.
