Альбом Powderfinger

Spoon fed from a dirty plate
A diet designed only to agitate
A veil of pride and gospel truth
To cover the hidden fist that he used

And I won't say a word
You've sewn me in my skin
Hypocrite walking stick man
Silent grave

And the sunken heel kinda slows me down

Dogs and children lift their legs
To tattoo a teenage mothers breasts
Widows of precocious days
Wear slogans resurrected late
Parables for wooden ears
Steer vehicles of wisdom

All the wisdom

And I won't say a word
You've sewn me in my skin
Hypocrite walking stick man
Silent grave

And the sunken heel kinda lights my way

And I won't say a word
You've sewn me in my skin
Hypocrite walking stick man
Silent grave

I'll take the lead you follow me
Come and relieve the friends that I keep
They're sick of me
Small minded creed blisters and weeps
Swallow the shit that jealousy feeds
And choke on it

And I may have a point to prove
I might just have a few enemies that I might just like to lose

I'll take the lead you follow me
Come and relieve the friends that I keep
They're sick of me
Come and relieve the friends that I keep
They're sick of me

And I may have a point to prove
I may just have a few memories that I might just like to lose

Here I stand with my tail between my legs
And I'm set to confess to these sins I didn't commit

Small minded creed blisters and weeps
Swallow the shit that jealousy feeds
And choke on it

And I may have a point to prove
And I might just have a few enemies that I might just like to lose

Here I stand with my tail between my legs
And I'm set to confess to these sins I didn't commit
No

It's all I have to say

Here I stand with my tail between my legs
And I'm set to confess to these sins I didn't commit

She has a hand of reasons to loose him
He liberates her often hidden smile
She buried trust faded away
He swallowed any promises they made

Darkness to weave its silent track
Stars decorate a shroud of black
Night closed the door on a fertile mind
And captured the light that the day worked so hard to provide

Vibrant golden hues
Melt into morning's hurried bloom
Whisper the secrets from night to day
Bird announces the dawning and fills it with praise

And the wound slowly heals

Voices inferior
Voices inferior

And the wound slowly heals

Moon raise your head
From a soft horizon bead
Shine on a thirsty ground
Merciless sun steals the water for the sky to drown

Born into peace
Born into ignorance
My family gave me strength
Bonding my brothers

And the war was her enemy
Shed her mother's tears
Broke her mother's heart
Broke their feeble bond

And I'm stripped from my love
Could you find me a cure
Stone by stone I build
For my fathers'

Born into peace
Grown to respect the other
My religion gave me strength
More than a bond

And the law was her enemy
Bred her brother's fears
Sparked his call to arms
To force himself upon

And I'm stripped from my love
Could you find me a cure
Stone by stone I build
For my fathers' ohh pyramid
My fathers' pyramid
My fathers' I build

Stone by stone by stone

Strip me down
Wash me white
Leave the spots in my eyes
Novelty
Wearing thin
Overload of truth and advice

Narrow minds
Move hollow mouths
To taste the foot that they bite
To make you vague but polite

And I see you don't lose so well
Viscous (I've never seen)
Blood (Flowing and free)
Savage (I'll bridle you)

Save you from yourself

And I see you don't lose so well
Fragile beautiful
Scratch and bite to save
A feeling so betrayed

Viscous (I've never seen)
Blind (Hopeful and free)
Savage (I'll bridle you)

To save you from yourself
Who am I to judge?

Patron pushed vows aside
Parents blest shine with pride
Lay child down force inside

I play on my position of trust
Leave the child to self destruct

Child ashamed silent oath
Fallen heard shows no growth
Shows no growth chose no growth

I play on my position of trust
Leave the child to self destruct

It sure is quiet around here
The phone never rings anymore
So I'll wallow in silence
And nail my soul to the floor
'Cause I'm angry and jealous
And sick and tired of untruth
And I'm lonely my pride is bruised

My wheels sink low
Loves candle burns slow

If I spread my wings
Will I ever leave the ground
All of these painful scenes
That drag me down

My wheels turn slow
Loves candle burns slow
And now my eyes are dressed in rags
To hide the scars from what I've seen
And my fall form grace
Could it be a lesson to you
And if I trade my place
Would it make it better for you

Somebody screaming that the end is nigh
Never seen nobody with hopes so high
Uneasy feeling creeping up on me
Justify a weary trinity

And I can hardly contain my joy
Let me hear just a little bit more
Will its release ever set me free

Creepy feeling easing up on me
And I'm covered in a shroud of mediocrity
No entry to the place where answers lie
It's a language unavailable to you and I

And I can hardly contain my joy
Let me hear just a little bit more
Will its release ever set me free
Does it devour everything I believe
Every fear and superstition I breed
I can hardly contain my

Sliding now - goodbye hesitation and doubt
Sliding down - down the hollow that swallows the rules that I follow

Is there a turnaround?
Will the spirit rise from a corpse that's been rotten' in the ground?

Sliding down - goodbye hesitation and doubt
Sliding down - down the hollow that swallows the rules that I follow

Is there a turnaround?
Will the spirit rise from a corpse that's been rotten' in the ground?

There's every sign
That every mind must bear a little frustration
When souls collide
We're all bound to meet sometime

If you were my only problem
Then I couldn't confuse you with the solution

So pretty
Soul pity

I think I better ease back
And let the demons slide
There's a season ahead
A celebration of life

There's a season ahead
Of celebration and rhyme

The seams are getting frayed
Feels like something's ready to break
The seams are getting frayed
Feels like something's ready to break

So pretty soul pity
So pretty soul pity

And that just a little light
And it's creeping in

It's a early rise
His teeth are furred
And cleanse with hands to hunt and hold
The sun divides
Imagined leaves
A shelter while I sleep

There are many years
To cloud my mind
But no burden
It's heavy like a tipping load

Early day
On a bloodied patch
Only noise and brick surround
Tradition sinks
In the soil here
As a rock is swallowed in the mud

The polluted skin
Of my brittle earth
It keeps the bleeding at bay

This syrup sweet and thick to exchange me
My spirit has rearranged
Crippled, dampened, lame

As it goes
The syrup fills my eyes
The days faces fade to black
And I don't feel
And I can't fight
For my home anymore
Anymore

And I return to an open land
Where bloods blanket shielded me

This syrup sweet and thick to exchange me
My spirit has rearranged
Crippled, dampened, lame

Is it obvious that you have had it wrong?
You're attitude and angst seem to have gone
Is there no way you can be what you have said?
Another self-serving sermon

You can stand and beat your breast
While they feed on the fruit of their sweat
You've got it rough
Haven't you got it rough
So you shoot shoot shoot
From the lip

While you emulate the man that touched your heart
Imitate at due cost
Your comment on positions out of reach
Contradict the very words you preach

You can stand and beat your breast
While they feed on the fruit of their sweat
You've got it rough
Haven't you got it rough
So you shoot shoot shoot
From the lip

I just know
I won't - remember your name

If all the people that you ever knew
Pooled all their money and gave it to you
Do you think you could raise enough to save your skin?

Save your skin
Save
Save

If all the people that you ever knew
Pooled all their money and gave it to you
Do you think you could raise enough to save your skin?
I don't know

I don't mind how high you climb
No I don't mind that climb is mine

Save your skin
