Talking about family Talking about trees Driving through the tracks and cones Brings a bitter boy to his knees Wrap him up in coattails Water soaked in pine Each time we come back around He's wandering off and cluttering minds Weld it up Taking the long talk home and my arms start grating my mind is shaken We walk it off Taking the long talk home my legs start grating My mind is shaking it off Golden silence courted Bread and cheese with wine We've won it and We'll horde it This silence in our lines Wake me up and roll me out Before I get to running up twice Talking over family Talking over trees We'll talk about the bad blood Let's talk about the thieves Don't wake me because I'm nervous And I've been falling down Don't take her for a goddess That's not how goddess sounds We'll make them all return it When the time is right And call them to the borders cause the war has come I've been sunken from long ago Your head is right and your body knows you're over faith and you're over time You're over fate and you're over lines
