about

This is a rough draft.

lyrics

when i'm pulled from the ground
i wanna smell the same, i don't wanna look any different
like saints before me
who died worthy
and were martyrs
for their intentions

and when I'm pulled from the ground
i wanna see blood even now
and I think there's blood even now
the wind reached out and told me

im not one to shut up and listen
but, when he speaks - when lord speaks - i am complicit

and I think I'm going to be naked
i think im going to be naked
i think im going to be naked
when you meet the cloth
when you meet your lord

i think there's blood even now
the wind reached out and told
when you meet your cloth
when you meet your

i think im afraid of the now
i think im a product of the complicit
i think there's time to grow old
i think there's time to be
aging
you're aging

i think it's going to be cold
i think fire is for the patient

and I don't have time to grow old
i sit
i sit
i sit
i speak, i pray, and I listen

you're not going to listen

i think i'm going to be naked
i think im going to be naked
i think i'm going to be naked
when you meet your cloth
when you meet your lord

i think there's blood even now
the wind reached out and told
when you meet your cloth
when you meet your lord

i think it's going to be cold
and I think I'm going to be
