lyrics

(Spoken)
Baby, baby
Can’t you see
That the reaper, the reaper is coming for me
Locked the windows, locked the doors
But in the morning, I ain’t gonna be here no more

Baby, baby I can’t stay
I know that I’ve sinned
And now I’ve got a price to pay
I changed our name and I changed our locks
But I gotta go when the reaper talks

****
There’s a braid attached at every root
I’m gonna cut each one just to get away from you
The earth will turn an autumn red
I’ll walk away shorn and proud

This is contraband, this doesn’t sit right
It feels like lying still on a summer’s night
The sweat on my skin lets my body do the screeching

Hurricanes and lukewarm soup
These are the things I think of when I think of you
Insect wings and brittle bones

These are the things I think of
when I’m left alone
I go slowly you went quick
Mama pushed you down the river in her favorite basket

And I can’t stand still
But I can’t stop waiting

You’re just a little boy stuffed into grown bones
Playing with the world until your mama calls you home
I wonder if you’ve ever had a single good night of sleep

So you make yourself a paper crown,
it won’t keep
It crumples to the ground
And yet you still call yourself king
Well, I’ll bow as low as I can go

Hurricanes and lukewarm soup
These are the things I think of when I think of you
Insect wings and brittle bones
These are the things I think of when I’m left alone
I go slowly you went quick
Mama pushed you down the river in her favorite basket

And I can’t stand still
No I just can’t seem to stand still
But I can’t stop waiting, waiting
