Oh country, you bloody old miser
Shake off the ancient dust of your heartless fathers
And rain pounds upon time, upon tweed, upon the daylight
Darling, sweat it to keep you upright
ย
I love to leave you and your sons
Moanin' away the time to stir further
While I chase the lovely tales of youth turned soft and holy
Bakes loose the leashes and lashes of this cracked armor
All skin and bones and no home
Born alone, only to end here alone
All skin and bones and no home
ย
Your words digest space, bruising red hearts, swollen minds
Tired nights awake, pushing forth
Bring me blue, ants-ridden ashes and eyes, we grow alone
Hard limbs, protecting our colors from each other, burn hollow
All skin and bones and no home
Born alone, only to end here alone
All skin and bones and no home
All skin and bones and nowhere to go
