slate (demo) Lyrics

Left my armor on the stage

threw my arms around the clock until it fashioned me a cage

In a forest beneath the waves

Keep my head up

Tossed a message to the sea

Called the warden I just begged until he fashioned me a key

Out of wood from my favorite tree

Keep my head up

Too often we chase what we wouldn't know

When the noble don't marry the low

Oh lord look at me talking out of both sides now

With a reason I don't need to sell

There isn't felt enough to wipe it clean

Bottle up and throw it out to sea

Left my army in the sun

Let my jaded half come on and on and on until it won

With a half-hearted turn and run

Keep my head up

Too often we learn things we shouldn't know

When the noble won't marry the low

Oh lord look at me talking out of both sides now

With a reason I don't need to sell

There isn't felt enough to wipe it clean

Bottle up and throw it out to sea

Here's to the end of all the pretty days

With a reason I don't need to say

Look at me talking out of both sides now
