Ezra Bell - Silly Man Lyrics

Ezra Bell Lyrics

"Silly Man"

Fears fall like long dead leaves
Needs cling like burrs on sleeves
The big fronds drop but buds remain
The crushing wait of every day

The things we had to do not the things we had to be
Shiny toys sort saint from whore strip our identity
Our mean hearts half broken monotonies debris
Things to do as always not the things meant to be

I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become

Ends fade a silhouette a shadow's friend
A butcher's bill resurrects where terror rings again
The void's a postcard scrawled to a friend
It's the coffee grit that grinds in the end

The things we had to do not the things we had to be
Shiny toys sort saint from whore strip our identity
Our mean hearts half broken monotonies debris
Things to do as always not the things meant to be

I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become

Facing down meteors giant waves
Still a thirty year old warrant haunts my grave
Morning breaks a hollow sound
Restless wraiths walk these grounds

You're alive tell me why
You're alive tell me why
You're alive tell me why
You're alive tell me why
You're alive
Tell me why
You're alive
Tell me why

The things we had to do not the things we had to be
Shiny toys sort saint from whore strip our identity
Our mean hearts half broken monotonies debris
Things to do as always not the things meant to be

You're alive tell me why
I'm not the silly man I've become
You're alive tell me why
I'm not the silly man that I've become
You're alive tell me why
I'm not the silly man that I've become
You're alive tell me why
I'm not the silly man I've become
You're alive tell me why
I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become
I'm not the silly man I've become
