Wires

(альбом: Murder The Mountains - 2011)

Kid, don't lose your cool
It's still too soon
To have to choose
A brighter doom
It's hard to believe, but I can see
How there could be
So little left to lose
(Cracking open skulls like cans of beans on Christmas Eve)

Mama's not okay
She lights a candle for every day
That you're away
Today could be the one
She burns the motherfucker down
Her final act of grace
In a pointless, endless race

Kid, you're under fire
Your life is coming down to the wire
Maybe you'll take the Captain's hand
Carry his ship through burning sands
Cradle your rifle like a man

Mama she says, "No way"
She's lost it all, so, you've got to stay
To make her pay
She knows the fiend upon the throne's
A goddamn sucker for the stone
Until the day he dies alone

Succumb...
