slow death hymn - mischief brew lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
2000 was fired out from a cannon
the neighbor shot up at the lips
we piled in the street and stood for our anthems
on top of the cars with bottles in hand
this year crept up, who could see it coming?
no one saw the signs, if any were there
the distant funeral marches drumming
“i’ll take life, don’t care if its fair”

[verse 2]
read too many tales with terrible endings
gods and machines that get in the way
we thought we were home
turns out we were renting
until i am gone, i’m here to stay
taken away our friends, our lovers
by cancer, heroin, tragedy
it’s not the wakes i’m worried over
it’s knowing we have to go to sleep

[chorus]
if it’s a highway
i am trying just to drive
i am trying just to drive
stay awake and stay alive
if it’s a highway
i want you there at the side
i want you there at the side
still awake and still alive

[verse 3]
the songs we thought we’d have to bury
we faced them head-on right away
every reason to cry not one to worry
drive faster and further is my only change
so tattoo our arms and raise our gl-sses
call out your names this new year’s eve
and maybe next time we lay down a casket
we say at least the story’s complete

[chorus] [x2]
