"Pillars (Jack Of All Trades)" lyrics

I pricked my finger
And bled from the deepest vein
And I wrote myself a letter
To do something with the pain
Kept you close to my side
As I slept
And I tossed and turned at night
While you wept

I tried living my life in the good light
But everything burns where it's too bright
Somebody turn off the news

When I make peace with my god
Then will it stop?
Everything beautiful must die
Ego will fall
And pillars will rise

I took a hammer
And tore apart every wall
And I found the jackdaws singing
In the holes I bore
Damned if I do
But I'm damned if I don't
It's luck if I win
And I'm fucked if I don't
God's on the attack
He gave me my blood
And now he wants it back

So I'm standing
Calling my mum from the landing
Naked, afraid, and demanding
But she's out there singing the blues

When I make peace with my god
Then will it stop?
Everything beautiful has died
Ego will fall
And pillars will rise

(Pillars will rise...)

(Jack of all trades
Master of none
Better be good while you're still young)
