Song Lyrics

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face.
There's a blood that's flowing through the feeling
Witha knife to open up the sky's veins.

(Chorus)
Some things will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half-unconsious from the pain.
They may seem rearranged.
In the backwater swirling
There is something that'll never change.

And when I shoulda been gone a long time
It laughs, and says I find ways.
Just when they're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Hey, I'm blind.
Good Fine.
Roll the time
On whose dime.

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face.
There's a blood that's flowing through the feeling
Witha knife to open up the sky's veins.

(Chorus 2x)
