The First July Lyrics

A steep divide

Commits this awful din inside

It feels like peeling off my soft skin when I was

Still alive

When I was far too bright to die

Sent out my feeling, what a scarred reply

I am more than my

Than my eyes' reply

But my bones don't lie

So how can, so how can

How can I learn to be the first July

You can't think

Or you'll die

You can't drink

What you cry

So my throat's

Still dry

I'm feeling, I'm feeling like

I'll stop my thirst when I'm the first July

This rising tide

Convinced to stop and shut my eyes

You can't expect that I'm along for the ride

I won't decide

And I can not be forced to try

You've got to take me to the tombs where nothing dies

I am more than my

Than my eyes' reply

But my bones don't lie

So how can, so how can

How can I learn to be the first July

You can't think

Or you'll die

You can't drink

What you cry

So my throat's

Still dry

I'm feeling, I'm feeling like

I'll stop my thirst when I'm the first July
