lyrics

Never ever horsed around at school
but roared like a lion in the woods
just trying to be good.
Now there's ashes in my chest
a pain in my heart.
Never fall apart,
fall together, fall forever
With the brandy, with the rye,
with all other in my life.
Here's to us all who never had it all.
We'll find death before we depart,
triumph before the start.
Hand over heavy hearts
to the ground to the wind.
Spread the dead like smoke spread flame.
We choke cause we know it can't be true.
But the ash in my lungs is me
and the smoke is you.

Well, I'm coughing but not too often.
Smell the blood of ancient lion cub
searching through stones for his own mother's bones.
He roar like thunder for the dead.
The hawk soars so he's fed.
Who's the fool for seeing life through?
If it ends then we're dead, so start living like she said.
Cause we pump all this blood and breathe all this air.
Who are we to care what's next, what's now?
