Lacquer lyrics

My voice channeling

A circuit's end

The house we lived in

Stricken with blight

Finding ways to kill the pain

Let the river run wild

Dreams shattering

Aerial sound

Scrape the lacquer

Can't you see, it's all tarnished

Tried the poise

To radiate

Tried my words

To illustrate

Finding ways to end the pain

I let the river run wild

Dreams shattering

Fixing to die

Scrape the lacquer

Can't you see, it's all tarnished

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby

My voice travelling

Soaring bird above your head

The house we lived in

Ridden with disease

Scrape the lacquer

Can't you see, it's all tarnished

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby
