Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse
One hand on this wily comet
Take a drink just to give me some weight
Some uberman I'd make, I'm
barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on
a host of individual sins
Let's carve my aging face off
fetch us a knife
start with my eyes
down so the lines form a
grimacing smile
Close your eyes to corral a virtue
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard to
cement a failure
We can blow on our thumbs and posture
but the lonely is such delicate things
The wind from a wasp could blow them
into the sea, with
stones on their feet
lost to the light and the loving we need
Chorus
Still to come
the worst part and you know it
there is a numbness
in you heart and it's growing
Verse
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
I click my heels get the devils in line
A list of things I could lay the blame on might
give me a way out
But with each turn it's this front and center
Like a dart stuck square in your eye
Every post you can hitch your faith on is a
pie in the sky
chock full of lies
a tool we devise to make
sinking stones fly
Chorus
Still to come
the worst part and you know it
there is a numbness
in you heart and it's growing
