Dead Wave

from Waails by Anthony and the Mountain

/

lyrics

Hit him with a dead wave
on the cusp of freedom
still living under the fist
this thunder cracks my brain
and lets the rain in
nerves so shot i can
barely reach the season
and i'm left faking a limb
just an echo in the doorway
of a soldier growing dim

the swarm descends and
strips my bones and
the forest floor has over grown
this ugly nest i've built from stone
is dust i'm dust i'm dust i'm dust

angel
oh your light is sick
and the glow comes off the windows
and takes my heart with it
and i breath out this empty pit
the ghost implodes
my wings they fold
and aren't you cold?

Hit him with a dead wave
on the cusp of freedom
now this is the taste that i get
so i limp this weight i'm
hoarding pieces of a failing sun
and you can live like a coward
you can die like you're brave
you can climb to the top of this mountain
and wait
and youll wait
and youll wait
for that future to come

the swarm descends and
strips my bones and
the forest floor has over grown
this ugly nest i've built from stone
is dust i'm dust i'm dust i'm dust

angel
oh your light is sick
and the glow comes off the windows
and takes my heart with it
and i breath out this empty pit
the ghost implodes
my wings they fold
and aren't you cold?
