"Daughter" lyrics

"Daughter"

I just thought I'd let you know
There's war in an old set of bones
When they shake
You can feel the Earth moan
There's a war
And it rips through the hills on a child's roar
Skips across the water like a stone
There's a sure rope swinging
Without a head in its jaws, it's waiting
There's a war

(Comes then it goes)
(Comes then it goes)
(Comes) Open-mouthed
In the deepest shit of all
(It takes time then goes) Takes time
(It takes time then goes)
(Takes) Spitting image
Of an unanswered call
(Comes then it goes)
(Comes then it goes) Goes
Lost love in a gaping maw
(It takes time then goes)
(It takes time then goes) Goes
Same dead hand
Knocking at the door
(It comes then it goes)
(It comes then it goes)
Same dead hand knocking at the door
There's a war

Then reel back and say, oh
We never should've let them go
And say no, no, no, no, there are no saints anymore
And oh, love is a tired whore
And oh, love's a tired whore
And oh, love is a tired whore
And oh, love is a tired whore
And oh, love is a tired whore

Piano wires
Pressed by the key
The hammer pulls the car
Around back and everyone piles in
Schedule is mentioned
Horn sounds in the distance
Pasteurized idea
Vibrates a pocket
Is this meant to be
Or wicked chance?
They drive on
Each street light a memory
Knowing they'll die here or there
Knowing they'd die here and there
Knowing they'll die here or there
Knowing they'd die here and there
Knowing they'll die here or there
Knowing they'll die here and there
Knowing they'd die here and there
Knowing they'd die here and there
Knowing they'd die
