"Steady Job (Demo)" lyrics

Making my way down a well worn track
I know enough now to never look back
I'm weary with worry, I'm heavy with doubt
There's nothing and no one gonna pull me out

Spent so long blinded by the divine glare
When the stone rolled away we saw the tomb was bare
It burned every tie, every bond I'd made
Only scars and white ashes and tears remained

The closer I work to the devil's plan
The further I get from the promised land
I'm gonna keep my distance from the baying mob
Pulling the levers on a steady job

Ooooooo
Ooooooo

The news is lousy with blood and fear
It's dampened by a grieving mother's tears
The lure of salvation, the promise of peace
The myth that if we work hard we will find release

So I keep on working on the mystery
I'm pulling the thread, going where it leads
Looking for signals from an absent god
And spinning my wheels in a steady job

Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooooooooo
