about

THIS SONG CAN ONLY BE HEARD WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE ENTIRE ALBUM.

lyrics

Up from the ground and down to the beach
There all the darkness you were meaning to keep
Under the covers now it's staining your sheets
Of a bed you were claiming, but not expecting to sleep in

Up from the ground soaking into your feet
All of the darkness you weren't expecting to reach
Your red-handed fingers and oily dreams
Now you're suffocating like those blackbirds and beaches

Fool me once Fool me twice
You're still selling me blood and rolling my dice
Kill me once
I've only got so much to gamble

Down in the ground once far from your feet
Your body will rot into soil for seeds
Then oneday a man with a dollar and a dream
Will dance on your grave and cut down your tree
Singing songs that in life you too also did sing
