David De La Hoz - The Chariot

You bet we fight until pressed against six feet

Of distance and earth

Yeah, we make mistakes that our fathers have made

And my troubles come up from the earth

My teeth, grit, fierce

And I beg to you, understand.

«Grace» is my name

Tongues run amok and

Fangs will breed on fangs

So keep your secrets in the mattress

And pray they don’t escape

This impossible act of building our bridges

Much faster than they burn

Stay

Because I can’t afford distance

It’s shadowing my heart

And what good is a sinner

If we haven’t got grace

(Save the son)

My troubles boulevard across the land

(Save the son)

They keep their secrets in the mattress

(Save the son)

Discard

(Save the son)

I’m trying to keep it in the right hands

Medic, medic, medic

I have given up all my weapons and I’ve headed home

Well I can see the words inside your silence

But I can’t speak about your pain for you

How long can you burn for anyways

Turning over and back again with tongues ablaze

Like, like lions without teeth hungry

Staring at the forest with flames in our eyes

Just talking with the trees

If we can drift long enough, we’ll be home

Sails blown by the fire within pushing me to you

And you can live inside of me

Sewn together

Breaking and healing

Growing and breaking again and again

And you are a part of me

You are my home and I’m your home

But I’m no place you’ll want to be

So I’m out here again sparks hid behind my teeth

I won’t say a word for fear of failure spreading

It takes some of us longer to get to our dead ends

We have old blood stained with loose living

Ran through charcoal hearts to make it red

And we can be on fire again you and I

You want this?

Well say what you want

Say what you mean!

We can talk lung to closed ear

Head inside of hand

Turning over again together

Cut up for the cheap heat running through our veins

And we can lay brick by broken brick

Our ashes pushed in between

And build this road back home to where we want to be

We are not our own, we are the same

Let fangs give birth to fangs but I can’t walk away

Let them breed

Fangs give birth to fangs but I can’t walk away

Let them breed
