Works & Days 03:13
Ever see yourself among the faces in the crowd? Well I’m not proud, but I’m glowing. Cause every single night I get the same dreams, about my failed schemes, works and days. --- I’m tired of all the not-yous, all distractions, all replacements. --- Maybe weeks go by bleeding days and lonely you. I’m unglued. I’m sure you know this. Never someone new - true is true both then and now. But somehow, I can change. --- I’m tired of all the not-yous, all distractions, all replacements. --- If you’re faltering while your notions fall away, that’s okay. You’ll overcome it. I'll be someone else: good for you, but not my myself, with your help, works and days. --- I’m tired of all the not-yous, all distractions, all replacements. I’m tired of all the not-yous, all distractions, all replacements.

Kites fly towards the tides, I am only one of them. Winds rise our insides, intestines are the string at her end. Will I ever be at home with her on the ground? Synthetic winds are rocking and all the world is crashing down. --- When we depend on the dead to pull our carriages and carry our bread, we may be dead when they're gone, severed by machines that carried us along.

St. Rita 02:47
I want to strip my ragged carcass to the bones. The bitter balm I got could never cure your woes. But I’ll keep coming back for more until I’m yours. Well alright, alright. I mashed my fingers to a gritty pulp for you. I’m palomino with the bruises I made too. I never knew to stop when going wasn't good. Well alright, alright. --- Yeah you deplete me. I’m yours completely, St. Rita --- Now I know that promises aren't guarantees. Wasted effort, there’s no binding you to me. It’s only fear that could define us mutually. Well alright, alright. --- Yeah you deplete me. I’m yours completely. Obsession turns to hate, Turns on myself, Turns into something else I never want to show. I think I'm better left alone. --- Yeah you deplete me. I’m yours completely, St. Rita.

You're walking with me Through the artillery Your hand is in mine We're feeling just fine I've got to let you know I will have to let you go Whether now or later on Our lives aren't so long --- Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh You're walking with me We'll be dead soon you see Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh It's moving too fast Our lives just can't last --- You're working with me In the man's industry You're hand is in pain You're bleeding again I swear I'll let it go Once he's lyin’ on the floor Feels his life linger on Only for moments til it's gone --- Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh You were moving too slow You felt the hammers blow Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh If Christ was my friend He'd bring the man to his end, cause... --- I don't believe in sin, my dear I don't believe in sin, my dear I don't believe in sin, my dear He'll feel the hammer's blow. He'll feel the hammer's blow uh uh oh --- You're walking with me Through the sunshine and breeze The war's at an end Another day on the mend I've got to let you know I will love you more and more Every day we linger on Hand in hand until we’re gone --- Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh Oh uh uh oh-o-oh, Whoa
