lyrics

It taught me I can be found in every foot that hits the ground
and I leave my troubles true where they can be found,
like the scent of a bloody, bloody, bloodhound
Splinter in the sky, is it a bird or a sly creature
‘Cause the illusion likes to paint with a heavy, heavy hand
on a heist across the sea and who are we

If we’re dying here we are free here
and if we die we are gone
If you’re dying here you are free here,
fuck the man you are home, ooh

Oh, I wish upon us now a gravestone for the ‘somehows’
and colors that are free of you and me
What I really mean to say is nothing at all
‘Cause with my voice comes a safety, a privilege and a call

If we’re dying here we are free here
and if we die we are gone
If you’re dying here you are free here,
fuck the man you are home

For example take the green,
it turns to dust eventually
And the fire’s not in the rich,
it’s in the fire that lights the ditch
