You are the lion and I am the fox You track me nightly, but I am never caught Guard your garden and bare your teeth I'll find the secrets buried underneath I'll share the bottle if you share your sin Lay me down, tear me limb from limb You are the lion and I am the fox You track me nightly but I am never caught I am sick of this human skin Give me a new suit to dress up in We've been waiting to meet our maker We've been waiting to meet our maker We've been waiting to meet our maker We've been waiting to meet our maker You are the lion and I am the fox You track me nightly but I am never caught

Wishbone 06:09
I slept through New Years Didn't notice when spring came I looked for myself In western mountain range But I couldn't find me I couldn't find me I've been living outside my body I've been living outside my body Made a cut above my hip Removed my smallest rib Gave it to you as a gift And you broke it Like a wishbone My wishbone My wishbone Break it for me Break it Pained eyes painted bright Straightened teeth in a defeated smile But I feel you in the dark And for a moment, Our death wishes depart What's the sum of our bodies? What's the sum of our bodies? Made a cut above my hip Removed my smallest rib Gave it to you as a gift And you broke it Like a wishbone My wishbone My wishbone Break it for me Break it Break it

He seems much smaller now Knee high to the man that I once loved I always prided myself on Always seeing the beauty that's in you I still do It was a tuesday when she called Her mind betraying her again But I can feel her breathing No, death is not her only friend So light a candle Join the vigil We're all holding hands With phantoms of our past selves All this time I thought you were digging your way out You were saving space in the graveyard (x2) So light a candle Join the vigil We were some sort of cosmic glitch A blinding glimpse at divinity But now we're galaxies away In the same damn midwestern state She's lying under the newborn sun Begging for it's strength to enter her skin We'll all be dust in the end Don't turn to stone while you're waiting So light a candle Join the vigil We're all holding hands With phantoms of our past selves All this time I thought you were digging your way out You were saving space in the graveyard (x2) So light a candle Join the vigil We're all holding hands With phantoms of our past selves All this time I thought you were digging your way out You were saving space in the graveyard (x2) So light a candle
