The Death Of A Certain Kind Of Life Lyrics

So, so is this learning?

A way to stop hallucination, make sense of the world

But why when it's burning?

I could sit for hours and contemplate

There's a testing room to figure out your traits

Where being alone is clinical

To work out how it's all going to go until the crematory curtain stalls

This is how it is now but it's just like it was before

How could anyone ever think to know that this was the haze?

That this was the haze

Angel of the slow death, making me think

Is this a test? Simulation? Someone has to take the brunt but am I now a figure of

my own imagination?

We sit and talk America again

Thinking of our endangered friends

I can taste the church and their words refracting in the air

as I cling onto pushing on without them

They've hooked and readied themselves to reel in

But I'm a dog with a stare so strong that I can't take away focus from the birdbath

All that's left to do is sit and laugh

Let me watch your mouth as I Iay on your bed

Make auburn colour tears as I cry through your hair

And pretend that all my worries and my cares, they're like a snare, will fade away

Call it an endeavour, the shaping of a head

The sweat of an existence that's pulled apart and needs a friend

Soaked into your linen and stains what once was fresh but still you stay

Somedays I want to leave you behind

Sitting cold in a chamber away from the light

But others I'm glad to have you by my side

The death of a certain kind of life

Over my shoulder you're there while I write

Her on the other in the middle a war child

But you take me to the harvest darling you're my honeyguide

So thank you for the end of that kind of life
