Burn - The Low Anthem[00:00:00]
Did I burn each last bit of myself[00:00:03]
Did I turn my back on the kid in myself[00:00:09]
And tear the oldest root[00:00:16]
In a charlatan's pursuit[00:00:22]
And the world drifting farther away[00:00:28]
On the run with nowhere to hide[00:00:40]
The black angel still clings to my side[00:00:47]
You know he's faster than[00:00:53]
Any man[00:01:01]
And the world drifting further away[00:01:05]
What I told you lover I guess that I meant[00:01:18]
By the time that you read this I will have repented[00:01:24]
I know I am a fool[00:01:30]
For trying to play it cruel[00:01:37]
And you played so much kinder than I[00:01:43]
Your memory now is the shadow to my shadow[00:01:55]
I wind it tight like a player piano[00:02:01]
Your skirt above your knees[00:02:07]
I watch you press the keys[00:02:13]
It calms the smarting flesh[00:02:20]
Of the wound we have undressed[00:02:25]
If still there's a song deep in this marrow[00:03:09]
Who lets you draw that last shivering arrow[00:03:15]
What kind of smarting loon[00:03:21]
Believes that he can shoot the moon[00:03:27]
Calm these frailing nerves[00:03:34]
They ask to be preserved[00:03:40]
I was ashamed and mute[00:03:47]
Fumbling around for my parachute[00:03:53]
Then gliding through the rain[00:03:59]
Not a drop could leave its stain[00:04:05]
And the world drifting farther away[00:04:11]
