Before We Retire - Josh Tillman

Maybe we should take some time

Long enough to let the blood dry

On both sides

On both sides

Maybe if we just just slowed down

Long enough to lay our sons down

We retire

Before we retire

The only thing that remains

Are graves to dig and rich man’s games

That you had to play

That you had to play

The only thing they’ll take from me

Is a life of peace and dreamless sleep

Dreamless sleep

Oh dreamless sleep

I guess i’d rather have my limbs

So you’ve got something to sleep in

Then to be free

Oh then to be free

Brother i’ll live in chains

Than have your eyes (?)

Before a memory

Before a memory

Before a memory

Before a memory
