Narrow Veins

from ...andthentheycameforus by Them Thieves

	/

lyrics

my stomach weighs with the weight of one thousand bricks
as I see another Tuesday come to pass
and when I lost my soul for the last time
I never asked for any sympathy
if the greater good would come
I’d let him take me
sip the blood from my lungs
and push out the air from these veins
the sun was never kind to the ones like me
I’ve only got a heart that’s built with grief
come save me from myself
I have torn off my own wings to save some time
and the more this life will narrow
I’ll never find the road back to me
and it’s wrong to hope to see tomorrow
wish, love, lose, hate and repeat
it’s all the same when it’s never pretty
I am all that I’ve let myself down to be
