"Outlive" lyrics
"Outlive"
Take your cocaine cloak bury it in sand
Slavery is fine when you're living on a dime
Take your earthly gold tryna fix it to your soul
Ain't never gonna stick so long as clocks a tick
There's victory on a north bound train
With the rust to show it's been through the rain
Eighteen years brought my life to tears
When I outlived my last years
Take your shoes and your cap, won't you leave 'em at the door?
This ain't just a meal, it's the prayers before we kneel
Lift up your weary head and won't kiss the marks that heal?
And tears that fall will wash away the dust upon your lips
There's victory on a north bound train
With the rust to show it's been through the rain
Eighteen years brought my life to tears
When I outlived my last years
There's victory on a north bound train
With the rust to show it's been through the rain
Eighteen years brought my life to tears
Eighteen years brought my life to tears
Ooh, yeah, no

I didn't think it'd be so soon

Someone is searching still to find a God - be aware!
Someone is sinking from the things that appear
