lyrics

i was the one who fought the dragon
i was the one who slayed the beast
a thousand yards of blood and maggots
a thousand yards of bended knees
i am the start of something careful
i am the start of something neat
watch my stars fall in handfuls
watch my cars hit your trees

what i say
said let me be
cause i'm afraid
yeah i'm afraid
so let me be
cause i'm afraid
yeah i'm afraid
so what i say
i count the day
in this house
in this house
i count the days
in this house
in this house
in this house
no matter what i say
don't let me out
cause there's hell to pay
there's hell to pay
don't let me out
no matter what i say
don't take me down
they broke me down
and there's hell to pay
they pushed me out
and i'll make them pay
i'll make them pay
(nothing in the foreground to focus on, nothing left and everything both are gone, you are not a hymn or a one-time song, time is upon us war is gone, everything you thought was a broken star, everything you had was a roseless thorn, places in your head that you've never gone, places in your head that you've dreamed before.)
i'm not an animal
i know i don't know

i was born on a sinking ship.
raised in a dying forest.
moved to crumbling city after crumbling city.
and now wait for at last to come
