lyrics

You’ve got that look of a man who’s been waiting
far too long, I understand
You’ve been working too hard
and it’s breaking, breaking your heart
Not what you planned

Just before i fly out of myself
I will wave my heavy hand

That cold dull shock at the wrist in the morning
from breaking the earth, no wage is fair
With featherless wings
we lay watching the bellies of birds
fly through the air

Slowly i will lower and arrange myself
in a heap of sighs

All imaginary angry peers
Truth for everybody holding dear
All imaginary angry peers
This one is true
Break down if you know the way
This one is true

Can’t get that smell off your hands
but you’re sleeping out under the stars
you’ve earned your share
What will become of the bargains
we’ve made with the earth
Bury me there

Slowly i will lower and arrange myself
in a heap of sighs
in a heap of sighs
in a heap of sighs
Slowly i will lower and arrange myself
Slowly i will lower and arrange myself
